Are you reinstalling ubuntu to the same drive you are trying for debian? or using some other drive and swapping stuff around? I ask because all those errors you posted make me still think you've got some hardware problem. BUt I'm no expert by far. So what, if any differences are there between the ubuntu install and debian install. And I mean *any* differences: changed cables, changed drive order on cables, swapped drives, anything. Also, as an aside, you could try debian from the ubuntu install using debootstrap. Instructions here: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apds03.html.en good luck A
