[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

we are grateful of your time, do not feel pressurised into testing things,
or a need to apologise!

For the G3 issue, can you please do the following...

(18:00:46) bdmurray: for the g3 rerun the install and at the end of the
install run ubuntu-bug ubiquity to get the log files from the install
(18:01:09) bdmurray: then a picture of the boot failure and probably dmesg
from the "command prompt"

Many thanks for your continued assistance,

Phill.
