Thanks, yeah, I actually did run dmesg and got exactly what the other guy did:



I have this issue (also with a Dell), if you do a dmesg on the terminal and if you get something simular to this...

ide0: I/O resource 0x1F0-0x1F7 not free.
ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe
ide1: I/O resource 0x170-0x177 not free.
ide1: ports already in use, skipping probe

then thats looks to be the reason, I believe it's because the SATA driver is loaded before the ide-generic drivers.. Didn't get around it, but I installed Ubuntu by booting up from a gentoo CD, partitioned/formatted the drives and then copied the Ubuntu CD/DVD to one of the partitions.
That won't help me to run the live CD, so I'm about to try Hoary Preview release live CD and see if that helps... if not then I guess I can try waiting till April...

Thanks to all for their help.

Bug with ata_piix module prevent loading ide driver. You have to rebuild initrd image. Just add following to /etc/mkinitrd/modules:
ide-generic
ata_piix
sd_mod

Backup your old initrd:
cp /boot/initrd.img.2.6.8-1-686 /boot/initrd.img.2.6.8-1-686.bak

Make new initrd image:
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img.2.6.8-1-686

Reboot
In case of failure boot from old image - grub way:
initrd /boot/initrd.img.2.6.8-1-686.bak

Wait for fix in ata_piix

Best regards

Bravo ggnore
Tu t’en ai tiré tous seul !!!
Moi les problémes que j’avais rencontré avec ubuntu venais du fait que le HD étais salement entamé . Le bios le reconnaissais selon son humeur. Mais ubuntu c’est quand même installé
( après 2 jours de persévérance)
C’est une distribe sympathique quand même !!!!
Bonne continuation !!!
