I had the same problem, downloaded the alternate CD and installed it with that. Afterwards when Ubuntu started, I got ATA errors but waiting a long period of time paid off since it did continue with booting. Then I added the piix module in /etc/modules, I restarted and the problems were gone. Maybe an idea?
