** Description changed: Binary package hint: debian-installer + + SRU information (by broder): + + IMPACT: initramfs-tools-generated initramfs's do not contain the xhci- + hcd kernel module, which means that they can not find a root filesystem + hanging off of a USB 3.0 port, regardless of whether or not the device + is USB 3.0 or not. + + DEVELOPMENT: Not yet addressed, but will be fixed in initramfs-tools + 0.99 (see Debian bug #625224) + + PATCH: lp:~broder/ubuntu/maverick/initramfs-tools/fix-565047 and + lp:~broder/ubuntu/natty/initramfs-tools/fix-565047 + + INSTRUCTIONS: Install Ubuntu onto an external USB hard drive connected + to a USB 2.0 port, then connect the hard drive to a USB 3.0 port and + attempt to boot. Observe that you get dropped to an "(initramfs)" shell + (or don't, if you have the fix) + + RISK: Minimal. The change just changes the name of the module that + mkinitramfs looks for + + ======== + Original bug description: I'm trying to install ubuntu on a new HP Envy 15 laptop, which has no internal CD drive, but does have a USB CD drive Any CD (9.04, 10.04alpha2, 10.04beta2) I have tried results in "(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system". Have also tried putting the 10.04beta2 image on a USB key, with the same results. Am guessing that its for some reason unable to find devices plugged into USB, possibly related to USB 3.0 things? Also tried netboot install of http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer- amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz , but it seems to be unable to bring up the network after booting into the curses based installer frontend. Am guessing need an updated driver for the network card somehow? typing out some USB/netowrk related lspci lines from the netboot cmdline from another machine, let me know if more specific information would be useful -- somewhat hard to get detailed info due to various issues so far, though...: 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05) 02:00.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation Device 0194 (rev 03) 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 6000 series (rev 35) 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Commmunications AR8131 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0)
