I had a problem with installing my SB16 installation in ubuntu. Some said that its too new kernel and it doesn't suport that.
But i finnaly find a solution with my friend help.
If some one has the same problem then u should try this:

Disable in BIOS- ACPI and Parallelport.
Turn off: PNP os intsalled.

And that should be all, it solved mine and should solve yours.
