Comment 91 for bug 96084

I've been having the same problem doing an initial install (over Win2k) of Ubuntu 7.04 desktop edition from LiveCD. However, I do appear to have found a solution to the problem - for myself anyway.

The PC is an old Dell GX110 machine which comes with a slimline CD-ROM drive but I happen to have a free normal-size DVD-RW drive so I unplugged the CD-ROM drive and connected the DVD-RW drive instead. The LiveCD booted fine this time.

Don't know if that might be useful information for anyone. Could it be an issue with the ATA instruction set being used by the latest kernel?
