I hit this bug while installing on a ASRock 4coredual-vsta motherboard (http://www.asrock.com/MB/overview.asp?Model=4CoreDual-VSTA).
I was using the Karmic beta CD currently on Ubuntu.com. Since sata_via is so widely used, please add this to the "known issues" so it's easier for others to know what to do. In my case, I used the same ISO to install Karmic on a virtual machine (using virtual box), then copied the sata_via.ko module to the proper place on the installer (as suggested above in the comments for this bug report). -- karmic alpha6 alternate: Failure to detect Via VT6420 SATA controller https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434827 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
