Grub problem

[Ubuntu Admin]

I had the a similar problem (same MB as well).  In my case, GRUB was 
installing on the first sector of the SATA drive, but the system was 
attempting to boot from the hd0 drive.  I had to rearrange the order of 
my boot disks in the BIOS so that the SATA always booted first

Ubuntu goes through the install copies all of the packages, but when it reboots the first time to continue the install it freezes. When the system reboots I get the message

I remember there was something I had to disable on a previous Asus motherboard when I installed Libranet, any help would be greatly appreciated.  A friend of mine had Ubuntu installed and I liked it alot. Now I would like to set it up on my box. I've tried installing it several times but keep getting having the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.
