This seems like a hardware related problem and it's very difficult to
debug. You can try the --alt flag with burg-install and see if it
fixes the problem:

sudo burg-install --alt /dev/sda

[Arie M. (amvanderkwast)]

What you means, must I burg install with -alt/dev/sda, but Ihave no burg but
grub.

Here is instruction on how to install BURG in ubuntu:

http://code.google.com/p/burg/wiki/InstallUbuntu

In the step to install burg to MBR, add the --alt option (has space
before and after --alt):

sudo burg-install --alt /dev/sda

You can switch back to grub anytime you want, just use grub-install to
install its boot code to MBR (grub doesn't support the --alt option):

sudo grub-install /dev/sda
