hi,
I have just installed xubuntu 10.10 on a old pc, and i get some strange problem after the installation.

the first time, after the computer boot I got a nice "grub rescue" prompt. I have tried to reinstall grub using the live cd (mountin and chroot) and even erase the mbr with DD

the disk was not in good shape anyway so and I changed it.

Width the new disk I installed a new system, but this time, after the boot I get


out of disk
no suitable mode foundafter that I get the login screen and a I can use the computer.

I’m beginning to get worried, why I get out of disk? I'm going to install windows xp for a few essential tools but I can't do this until this problem is solved...

is the suitable mode error related to the screen resolution of grub at startup?

here the output of lshw and fdisk -l

The other big problem is related to the audio, it's just crackling when i play a video and I seek the file. When I get some audio notification from emesene the audio is crackling too. The music plying is disturbed, I can't get a clean listening. I have tried to drop audio volume but nothing changed so much.

I hope you will help me

Many thanks
