Hi,
I can't reproduce this message using Mathematica 6:
In[1]:= data = Transpose[{#,Log[#^2-#+2]+Random[]/10}&[RandomReal[{0,500},{35}]]];
In[2]:= nlm=FindFit[data,Log[a k^2+b k+c],{a,b,c},k]
Out[2]= {a->1.04002,b->-1.04002,c->2.08004}
=> either it is a bug in version 7 or your data leads to some Logs of negative
numbers. Please submit the list.
