Cannot run dapper drake kubuntu 64 live cd

[patufet_99]

Hello,

I've tried several times to run Ubuntu and Kubuntu on my PC unsuccessfully.
My last trial was with the dapper drake kubuntu 64 live cd.
After the start-up the following messages are shown:

-set-thermal udev
[59 ..] hda: timeout waiting for DMA
[64 ..] hdb: drive not ready for command
[114 ..] hda: timeout waiting for DMA
[119 ..] hdb: drive not ready for command
...


Any hints?

Thank you!

My hardware is:

GigaByte K8NF9, nForce4
AMD 64 3000+
1 GB (2x512 DDR-DIMM 400Mhz)
160GB, Sata Maxtor 6L160M0
ATI Radeon X600/X550 Series

Debian sarge with kernel 2.6 is running on this PC, but I cannot configure correctly sound & 3d acceleration.

(K)ubuntu installs with conservative, read SAFE, options in hdparm.conf You may have to change them for your situation. I don't want to give you a specific configuration that might be worse than what you've got, so I suggest you simply use the settings from your sarge install in your kubuntu hdparm.conf.

You can get your 3D accel in kubuntu by installing linux-restricted-modules-{your kernel}. BTW, if your kernel is x86_64-generic you should install the AMD64-k8 kernel. It might run a few percent faster.

I have a P4 box running a 2.6.??- 686-smp kernel in Sid with decent sound (within the limitations of the hardware). I have nvidia graphics so I can't say anything about ati performance.
