Installing/Upgrading to 8.10 Ibex Error - Please help!

[wadeo]

Hey all - I'd appreciate some help with my 8.10 install.

Background: I've tried the following and all resulted in the included photos:

• Tried installing 8.10 from clean install.
• Installed 8.04 and tried upgrading.
• Tried a clean install of 8.10 beta even thinking I might be able to upgrade from that.

All of these resulted in:
This error

Even trying to run the 8.10 LiveCD results in this:
This error

Any help would be appreciated. I'm posting this from my 8.04 livecd at the moment, for reference.

I installed on an old HP machine once and had the same errors.
It turned out that the hard-disk was not being recognised half-way through the boot process.

I landed up pulling the HD, installing on another machine, then replacing the HD in the original machine and it worked OK.

Not sure if yours is exactly the same problem - but do you have an unusual HD configuration?

It's slightly unusual I suppose - I have 5 hdd's in my rig at the moment. Only one of which I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto though. The rest mount fine when using hte 8.04 LiveCD.
