Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

I am new to linux and after installing Ubuntu Edgy x86 with alt CD yesterday on a brand new computer I didn't succeed to start up.

I got the PC last week and installed Xp during the weekend. Then I made new partitions with the ubuntu CD (/, /home and linux-swap) and it looks like the installation succeeded (no error).

At the first start up (and further on...) I got to the grub screen and selected Ubuntu. After this i get a message "Starting up..." and then this error:

[17179572.892000]PCI: JMB26X: Enabling dual function on 0000.03:00.0
[17179572.916000]PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 on device 0000.03:00.0

Error when updating region 0000.03:00.0/2 0000c008!=0 0000000

When I made the first trial of installation I got the same message when I tried to start up Ubuntu from the CD. When I did the same by my old computer (6 years old) then no problem. Once again I downloaded the iso; http://no.releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/u...sktop-i386.iso , burned it by Imgburn this time, check'ed it for error, and then it went well. I went on and partitioned and installed Ubuntu. No error.
I made all the partitions inside the extended (When I installed WinXP then I made two primary p.; C and D for win.):
/, 10gb (ext3)
swap, 1gb
/home, 30gb (ext3)
All of them mounted correcty. In addition I part'ed one more inside the extended; a fat32 of 80gb. I know that windows will not partition a fat32 larger then 32 gb, but than can not be the reason for Ubuntu not to start up? What about the 1st message; "..Enabling dual function ", can my processor or mortherboard or h.d. explain the problems?
 Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 + Gainward GeForce 7300GT and Samsung Spinpoint P120S 250GB, SATA2

Any idea what's the problem? What do you recommend me to do? I didn't succeed to startup in recovery mode either. What to do then?
