Hi, I tried to install Ubuntu GNU/Linux on my brand new computer (not laptop) and ran into a problem similar to the one described here: my sata hdd was not detected.
I use a VIA VT6420 SATA RAID Controller with the RAID option disabled in the BIOS (thus selecting SATA). I think the problem is related to bug 7415 of linux: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7415 There is stated that the bug is fixed in version 2.6.20.1 of linux. Ubuntu 6.10 livecd is running with a 2.6.17 kernel. So, I am afraid this 'ancient bug' isn't fixed yet :-( regards, Maarten Faddegon ** Attachment added: "dmesg and lspci output of livecd" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6647598/dmesg_and_lspci.tar.bz2 -- SATA HDD not recognized during Breezy Colony 4 install or Dapper Flight 3 https://launchpad.net/bugs/19749 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
