Error “fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed”

I am trying to install Ubuntu for the first time.
Version = 11.04 Hardware = Acer Travelmate 4050
I can boot from USB or CD and it loads fine.
I have installed and reinstalled several times from both USB and CD and it completes correctly.
However, when I boot from the HDD I get the above error
I don't see any errors like "kernel panic" mentioned elsewhere.
It happens whether I boot with AC adapter in or out and also with adapter in but battery out.
Not sure how to get further info to help with diagnosis
Suggestions?
boot 11.04 acer

Here are a few things you can try - edit into your question with results if any either does or doesn't work.
Some more detail info about your laptop might give some advice on what to try next. Booting from Live CD/USB...
...Open a terminal and type
lspci
and
lsusb
and
sudo lshw
Copy and paste the results into your question.
Try turning off both power management and graphics driver loading during booting. To do this, edit
/etc/default/grub, find theGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=line, and addacpi=off nomodeset xforcevesa. That is, the new line will probably look like:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off nomodeset xforcevesa"
After that, run:
sudo update-grub
You can use this AU question to guide you through these two steps.
Then enter your BIOS settings - have a look at the following bios settings and try toggling the values one at a time and see if you can boot (assuming these options exist):
a. Legacy USB Support
b. Disk Management/SATA/IDE Compatability Mode

Hi fossfreedom Apologises for the long delay (just back from leave!) and thank you for the suggestions The boot line suggestions were the key ! Adding acpi=off nomodeset xforcevesa allowed it to boot from the HDD. I then got a message saying that there were updates (lots !) available, so I let them all run and when it rebooted it loaded just fine ! It even throws up a message telling me that the battery is stuffed (which it is!) so I guess that means power management is working too. So thanks again, this problem is FIXED!

appending acpi=off nomodeset xforcevesa worked for me (I have also an acer - TM4051 that halts on boot from HD)
People of non en-us keyboard-layout cultures need to know the en-us keyboard layout to do this.
The equal sign is top rightmost, the key right left before backspace:

In my case this happened because my headphone was connected to the laptop. Disconnecting it and rebooting helped solve the issue.
Thus try unplugging any connected devices like headphones, pen drives etc. and reboot.

I faced the same issue today. For the Travelmate 4050 a BIOS update from 1.6.0 to 1.7.0 resolved the issue as well, the setting acpi=off is not needed any more (this is very nice, because acpi=off prevents the laptop from shutting down properly).
