I found this bug report after googling and not finding a solution, so I
thought i would post it here.

I also have an Intel DG965SS and had the exact same issues as you
mentioned when trying to install Debian.  The solution turned out ot be
very simple.

You need to mark the partitions on your disk/s as bootable.  On Debian
you can do this during install (I haven't installed Ubuntu for a while
so don't know if you can in Ubuntu).

Alternatively once your booted into your system using the livecd method
you mentioned just use fdisk, e.g.

fdisk /dev/sda
Press "a"
Press "1"
Press "w"

This sets partition 1 as bootable (assuming thats the partition you want
to boot) and then the bios on the motherboard picks this up and boots
the system.

This is the first time I have ever needed to mark a partition as
bootable so not sure why this mobo is so different.

Cheers
