Dvir, Apparently its a "known" (reported) kernel issue with your IDE controller: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/151146
There is no apparent solution beside trying a different kernel (in some cases it appears older versions of Ubuntu worked). Though I don't normally suggest jumping to Alpha versions, the Ubuntu Jaunty has a new Kernel that might solve your problem, installing Jaunty is fairly easy, download the image from: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing (At the moment latest one is http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha6 ) And try to install it. Jaunty comes with: kernel-image-2.6.28-4-386-di While Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 comes with: kernel-image-2.6.27-7-generic-di On Monday 16 March 2009 13:51:16 you wrote: > btw I've tried upgrading the BIOS but the LG site didn't have a newer > version than what I already have. > > 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV > Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) > 00:00.1 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV > Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) > 00:00.3 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV > Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) > 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM > Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) > 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated > Graphics Device (rev 02) > 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM > (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) > 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM > (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) > 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM > (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 03) > 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) > USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 03) > 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 83) > 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801DBM (ICH4-M) LPC Interface > Bridge (rev 03) > 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DBM (ICH4-M) IDE > Controller (rev 03) > 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) > SMBus Controller (rev 03) > 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM > (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) > 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) > AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03) > 02:00.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI7410 PC Card Cardbus > Controller (rev 01) > 02:00.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI7610 SD/MMC controller (rev > 01) 02:00.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCI7410,7510,7610 > OHCI-Lynx Controller > 02:00.3 System peripheral: Texas Instruments PCI7410,7510,7610 PCI > Firmware Loading Function > 02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG > [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05) > 02:06.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev > 78) > > On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 12:44 PM, Noam Rathaus <no...@beyondsecurity.com> wrote: > > Dvir, > > > > This means that the hardware is problematic (solveable though as > > SysRescueCD is able to boot) > > > > Can you post the 'lspci' results here? > > > > On Monday 16 March 2009 12:34:09 Dvir Volk wrote: > >> On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 10:27 AM, Dvir Volk <dvir...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> Can you try and boot from an image from: > >> >> http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page > >> > > >> > thanks, i'll try. > >> > >> It boots.
