I have the same problem!
The configuration of my PC is
Motherboard: Asus A8N-VM CSM
HDD: 2 WD HDs (both of them are ATA)
and the DVD writer is also ATA
No sata device
At first, I upgrade my system from 7.10. But I found that, after the upgrade,
the DVD writer cannot read almost all CD-R, while those discs can be read
properly under Windows. So, I can sure that those CD-R are readable. Also, if
I mount the CD-Rs manually, say
sudo mount /dev/cdrom1 /media/cdrom0 -t iso9660
it reported that I used a wrong type to mount.
After, I try to format the partition and install 8.04 from the live CD.
However, whenever I booted from the live CD, the system stopped at
"busybox".
I guess these two problem are related, just like what bertm suggested,
it seemed that the system cannot found the live cd.
