Hello Alexander!

I have the ac100-111 and the installer got the same error with plymouthd on
installation startup of natty.

And the installer was unresponsable while choosing the keyboard layout,
first time I started.

I disscussed it, two days agow, in the ac100-irc-channel.
By my self I found on the right top, next to the shutdown button, some
button for the Control Center.
Within the ControlCenter I found another application for setting the
keyboard.Therefore I could switch to german layout. after this I made a
reboot.

plymouthd error comes up again, installer startet, but..... now the
installer was fine and I choosed the german keyboard layout again. After
this all worked fine.

Now I remember... I got a hint from the chat-guys :). Plug in a usb-mouse. I
did it while I was inside the first installer boot process (at the point
where it was unresponsable = mouse freezed).

Hope this helps.

Connect to the irc chat and read the new wiki, I wrote some line about natty
installation.
