If you got "An Error occurred reading the partition table for the block
device",
maybe you need upgrade your BIOS, my laptop is 600X, after upgraded BIOS,
installation is very smooth.
There are alot of pages on the internet for your reference:

Copy a "XF86Config" on the internet, restart your X, it should work.
