it first looped on echoing these :
ata3.00 : qc timeout
ata3.00 : failed to IDENTIFY (I/O Error, err_mask=0x4)
ata3.00 : COMRESET failed ( errno=-16 )
after a while , it passed through it and shows some feedback then :
check root=bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
or missing modules , devices : cat /proc/modules ls /dev
ALERT ! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx does not exist .
Dropping to a shell !
( x means numbers )
Did you pass any parameter during installation?
Type all-generic-ide in kernel line after deleting quiet and splash words. Hit Enter key and b.
Check if Ubuntu boots up.

why not use VMWare player on Vista, to run ubuntu, but this may pose problems incase u are on some kernel related stuff like device drivers development for Linux
i tried all-generic-ide . not work .
i installed opensuse instead , ok to boot linux .
but it said winload.exe broken , so vista not boot .
anyway , linux boot fine .
