That was my impression from reading the logs, particularly the "ata"
messages.

The logs seem to indicate a disk-related issue:

CH, isn't that a cylinder / head reference?


Since it's also problematic booting from live DVD, I'd look at the SATA
card that the disk(s) connect to.


Maybe try a live USB stick - that would use a different bus. If it
works, it lends confidence to a disk / SATA card issue.


Good luck... and keep us updated.
