I have a system that generally runs Linux/Ubuntu fine, but the 7.04 live CD fails, just as described here. I tried the 'modprobe piix' fix, but this didn't work for me.
The system has a SCSI as well as IDE interface, but there are no SCSI drives attached. It has 2 IDE hard drives and an IDE CD-ROM. I tried disconnecting one of the hard drives, but this didn't really help either. Oddly, though, somewhere in the midst of trying the various combinations, I did see the machine boot. Didn't work a second time, though, which means either the problem is intermittent, or I misremembered the config. Anyway, is there any progress on figuring out why this is failing? I could try tracking this down, but I don't have much idea what I'm looking for. ... 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DB (ICH4) IDE Controller (rev 01) 05:0c.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7902 U320 (rev 03) 05:0c.1 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7902 U320 (rev 03) -- Feisty boot fail "can't access tty" IDE SATA problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106864 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
