Unable to boot a live CD (Ubuntu 82801DBM Kernel Panic)

[Noam Rathaus]

Dvir,

Apparently its a "known" (reported) kernel issue with your IDE controller:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/151146

There is no apparent solution beside trying a different kernel (in some cases 
it appears older versions of Ubuntu worked).

Though I don't normally suggest jumping to Alpha versions, the Ubuntu Jaunty 
has a new Kernel that might solve your problem, installing Jaunty is fairly 
easy, download the image from:
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing
(At the moment latest one is http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha6 )

And try to install it.

Jaunty comes with:
 kernel-image-2.6.28-4-386-di

While Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 comes with:
 kernel-image-2.6.27-7-generic-di
