I've just tried to install for the first time Kubuntu 7.10 Final (never tried any Ubuntu/Kubuntu dist so far) and I stuck on the same place.
I'm not able to complete instalation due unrecognized SATA HDD. My laptop is Toshiba Tecra S3 with Intel's ICH6. I can confirm that ata_piix mess up the hole thing. If I run sudo rmmod -w ata_piix sudo modprob -r ahci and after that: sudo modprobe ahci sudo modprobe ata_piix in system log (dmesg) I can see my hdd correctly detected (/dev/sdb3 in my case). However this is possible only if I quit X session (interrupt installation), but after that I get a lot of ugly messages that breaks squashfs mount. Anyway I've never had a such problems with my previously installed distro (Slackware 12) and I don't know what to do to workaround this issue, because I can't complete installation of Gutsy. If I try "text mode installation" and run "bash console" in installer menu then I can perform from console above (modprobe) commands and continue with installation (exit in console) - then it detects my SATA HDD and seems installs some core apps, but after first reboot that installer ask from me seems that installation is not complete (for example if I issue "sudo lsmod" I get an empty list!). Please let me know what I can do or I shoud give up? -- SATA HDD not recognized during Breezy Colony 4 install or Dapper Flight 3 or Edgy Eft or Feisty Fawn https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
