Hmmmm.... i thought the firmware bug would have been sorted out with a firmware update of the BIOS. However, it seems that your BIOS cannot successfully link to MBR for Grub to load and start booting linux..... i'm confused :S

Either the BIOS is buggy or you have something set wrong. Try resetting it to factory defaults.

Run a LiveCD of any Linux distro (Puppy or Ubuntu itself would be best) and see if your notebook can load the kernel and boot linux from the liveCD.

If i create the usb live with Ubuntu's default program, after boot appear this error message: error boot and i can't use the LiveCd.
I try to create the live usb with Linux Usb Live Creator and Live Ubuntu works!

I try to run opensuse gnome from live cd and appear this message: "kernel image not found"

Hmmmm....ok, sounds like progress. If your LiveCD is booting then the cause of your error may not be system-wide. What processor are you using, by the way? And have you got any important data in your HDD? Using the liveCD you can try and repair your OS. I think the options to repair can be found at the main menu when you boot from your LiveCD....then there is the option to re-install the whole thing but we'll save it for the end.
