Are all hard drives set to AHCI in BIOS?

Maybe that should read .....  switch ALL SATA Controllers to AHCI ......

all, disconnected hard drive and DVD from SATA 3.0 ports, reconnected into SATA 2.0 and the system progress through the start-up until i received an error dealing with X Server informing it was not configured correctly. I received this error while booting from liveCD in safe mode.

all, fixed graphics...was able to boot! Thanks again for all the support from the community. The trouble with the graphics was due to the ATI card i'm running in my system XFX Radeon HD 6670 and old monitor needed to be sync'd to the best graphics setting of the old Kogi monitor. found out how to do this at the following link: http://andrzejl.no-ip.org:10101/wordpress/2011/06/06/fix-for-old-ati-cards-under-pclinuxos-2011-with-the-xorg-1-9-5/. Hope this helps someone else.

do you think the error could be caused by using SATA 3.0 and 6 GPS hard drive?

If the cd is a good burn then hardware detect cannot locate or identify a kernel driver to load that would give the system access to the cdrom drive so it can continue to boot.
