(Get the code!)
I'm also having problems on a Vostro 200. It worked OK for a while (several weeks, occasional usage) but has now become unbootable.
During the attempt, it drops to BusyBox but still keeps trying, producing lots of errors (but I'm not familiar with how to save them -- maybe a digital camera of the screen will help). It reports a failure in initramfs, with messages about ata1:00 and so on.
The system is standard from Dell -- 2 GB RAM, no floppy, media readers (SD cards etc). On-board NIC, no wireless or PCI cards.
I saw a suggestion to adjust the grub boot with "all_generic_ide" and this allows it to boot and run fine.
The alternate installer installs fine, but the reboot fails.
The standard installer fails.
The live-CD mode also fails.
This is not a very active system so I can try stuff on it if you wish.
