"Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:01"
WTF ?

I had this with my hd-install, after installing grub... strange it happens to your live-cd. Do you have the latest version? and have you checked the md5sum? cuz the kernel can't mount the filesystem, so it might be broken...

I've had problems like this with bad RAM, or RAM that is just mismatched.
