Is it the problem with Disk? I have tried with different kernel parameter
like:- noapic , irqpool ,libata.dma=0 .
But not succeeded .
And during boot from live cd noise(like droping plastic ball on floor) is
coming.

Anybody can help? Thanks in advanced.

It does seems to be a disk or controller error.

I suggest you to check the SMART record of your disk to see if you can
identify the problem.
