I have a similar problem with a Hitachi Travelstar 40G harddrive taken from a Thinkpad T30. I'm trying to use it with a new VIA CN700 Mini-ITX board. Basically the harddisk works with the the Thinkpad (w/ either Dapper or Feisty) but does not want to work with the VIA giving the same "stage1.5Read" error. After reformatting, fixing the mbr, and trying all other obvious fixes, and after reinstalling linux several times the system still does not boot. The interesting thing is that the disk is recognized both by the BIOS, the livecd and it doesn't contain any bad sectors or other errors. I have no clue what the problem is... also tried the play the BIOS settings without success... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
