Assuming the Live CD is OK (does it work in other computers?), the most likely problem is that the Live CD installer kernel has some hardware incompatibility issues with your system. To install, try...
That error probably comes from your computer's BIOS. It sounds like there are some hardware issues between the USB hard drive and your computer's USB system. You might check in the BIOS to see if...
In thinking about it, after you created the module, you were in the Desktop/rt18 directory, if you followed the instructions on the thread. The module file, with the extension .ko, would be in this...
See if you can load the driver (kernel module) manually with the modprobe instruction as in the thread you followed. If that works, but it doesn't automatically load at boot time, you may need to do...
What you have downloaded is a tar.gz archive containing source code for the Realtek driver. You need to compile it and install it into your system if you want to use this driver. This thread has some...
I assume the keyboard works when you boot a Live CD. It is possible that the grub program that is on the hard disk is corrupted. I think the cure would be to boot a Live CD, and re-install grub onto...
These error messages come from the X server software that creates the graphical display. Probably, Skype changed some setting in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, which controls the X server.

Try to boot using Recovery Mode (a grub menu choice). See if there is an error that indicates why it is not booting.
The most straightforward thing to do is re-install grub from a Live CD boot. It is possible -- maybe -- to re-configure grub from the grub-rescue prompt, but it is a bit harder. If you want to try...
Yes, you can boot from the grub-rescue prompt. The fact that you have this prompt means you are probably running a grub 1.97 command line (also known as grub 2).
Hopefully you have a fully...
The problem seems to be that the client cannot access the internet. I do not know how your network is configured, but the client needs to know the gateway address. I assume your DHCP/TFTP server is...
Try this. Boot the Live CD, start Synaptic, and remove completely the package dmraid. See this bug report.
I think Smartbootmanager can do it, but I have not used it myself.
Sorry, I don't have any more ideas at present. You could try other install methods, like netboot. This document has information on netboot, and links to other install methods that you might try. It...
Did you burn at a slow speed (no more than 4x)? Did you do the CD integrity test (an opening menu option)?
If the Ubuntu CD boots in another computer, and another bootable CD (I assume the Dell Open Manage Assistant is a bootable CD) works in the Poweredge, there is no obvious explanation, like a BIOS...
Does the Ubuntu Install CD work OK in other computers?
What do you mean by "ran the trial demo"? Did you try to install Ubuntu? Do you have an Ubuntu Live CD?
Are you sure the CD is good? Does it work in other computers? But, you are right, it could be that the kernel on the CD is not working with your hardware.
By the way, Canonical does not create...
If I understand you correctly, you are now able to boot into your Ubuntu using the grub rescue CD. Once you are in Ubuntu, you can reconfigure grub from that system. I think the method you are...
@2hot6ft2: Thanks for getting the .iso for the original poster.
One more thing of interest: there is an Ubuntu package named grub-rescue-pc which contains the CD and floppy disk images already...
Mark, he already did. Those questions are links to new threads.
@dabl: I agree with you. I usually partition ahead of time.
It's not the processor. See this blog for an Ubuntu system running an iCore 3 processor. There could be some issue with BIOS and/or motherboard settings, but first make sure the Alternate Install CD...
