Why does HBase in standalone mode start but not function?

Question

ubuntu

I install HBase from apt-get on a freshly installed Ubuntu 11.04 as written here:
sudo jps shows that HMaster is loaded:
24462 Jps
2926 HMaster Required
: simplest standalone mode. In theory, no configuration is required and it should work during installation, namely, you can go to and see the page with info.
The problem is that the browser does not receive a response (it does not fall off, the spinner constantly hangs). At the same time, something is written in the logs about “Failed assignment of - ROOT-” (the same log as here, they advise disabling ipv6 - it didn’t help).
Launched hbase shell, made status in it:

hbase(main):001:0> status 'detailed'
version 0.90.1-cdh3u0
1 regionsInTransition
    -ROOT-,,0.70236052 state=OFFLINE, ts=1306432962165
1 live servers
     1306432082022
        requests=0, regions=0, usedHeap=31, maxHeap=991
0 dead servers

Two facts are confusing:
- state=OFFLINE on the -ROOT-server (?) and
- the inscription "localhost" (while 127.0 .1.1 has a different name, say myserver, and on the other two servers in the functional stanlalon mode status 'detailed' prints EXACTLY NOT localhost).
I've already re-read everything and googled it, I can't find the bastard why he takes localhost and not myserver.
PS.
- HBase 0.90.1 got here: deb maverick-cdh3 contrib
- Java here: deb natty partner
