Glitch in installing 9.04 as a Clean Install.

[Andrew Mathenge]

I've seen this before. Normally when your CD drive cannot be detected
so the Ubuntu Live CD cannot boot. What you normally have to do in
this situation is load the CD driver manually.

At the prompt, type the following:

modprobe ide_core
modprobe ide_generic
modprobe ide_disk
modprobe ide_cd
exit
