I made two further attempts at installation, one with Ubuntu 10.10 and

files (including the boot loader) into the / partition.
Neither attempt allowed a subsequent boot of the system. I am
wondering if the previous (factory) installation of Window$-7 is at
the root of the problem.
Lenovo has published instructions for the user to follow to replace
the drive, but the process is rather involved and necessitates removal
of the keyboard, so I hesitate to try installation on another drive as
a troubleshooting experiment.
If you wish to follow that route you could install to a USB stick. Much
better than dismantling the machine! A complete desktop install
shouldn't be necessary so a 1GB drive is up to it. Get the base system
on and then the boot loader into the MBR. Switch to console 4 (ALT F4)
immediately after doing that to see in detail what is going on.
