Here are the screens. I really need a solution. I used these instructions http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download

After about 15 minutes, I see Ubuntu information on the screen, but then it takes another 15-30 minutes to show me the first screen of the installation. It never ends... What's the problem?

Totty, looks like an IRQ assignment problem, probably with a memory card reader (mmc1) or the card itself. If you have that hardware, the first thing I would do is unplug the card reader and try again. If the problem persists, the way to go is to boot with some extra kernel params, such as acpi=noirq, acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, pci=biosirq, irqpoll or pnpbios=off. It's much of a trial&error thing, but normally acpi=noirq, noapic and nolapic together should do the trick.

A BIOS upgrade helps too...

In my experience, (And all I've ever booted from is a USB. Never used a CD/DVD) it normally takes awhile to boot from a USB. But on the other hand 15-30 minutes is a bit much.

I set my bios setting to factory and then check this answer: My screen is disabled for a long time after I click "Install to harddisk"
