I am experiencing the same problem with the AMD64 build of the Ubuntu Dapper Flight 6 LiveCD.

Error messages are essentially the same, except I get different block and sector numbers:

end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1309376
Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 327344

I have tried the boot options listed above (irqpoll noapic noacpi) but have had no luck. I do not hear the GDM startup sound - the system doesn't seem to do anything but stall trying to read hdc.

I am on a K8 system, MSI K8N Platinum mobo with AMD3700+.
