That's an unusual problem. I could only find three relevant hits
for it, and they were all from late 2006. Two instances occurred
after BIOS updates and the other seemed to be related to a display
problem. There were work-arounds but it was uncertain if these
might result in lowered performance. Sadly, there were no
follow-ups, but then I couldn't find any recent occurrences either.
Are you using a recent fairly recent Ubuntu disk?
I wouldn't risk installing it on any of your systems until you can
get the live-cd/dvd version working first.
