I gave the install another go tonight (with alternate install CD) and with the old installer trick with the modules I was able to get 7.10 installed. Not sure what my problem was the other night - probably a typo or something on my end. The only thing I did differently tonight was unload/reload the modules right at the start and not at the partitioning step. The install took significantly longer than any previous installations, but I'm not sure that's related.
Julian's suggested workaround didn't work for me, but again I may have done something wrong. I just got something like "invalid boot option" or something (and yes I did add a space after the existing boot options when pressing F6). If someone wants log files, let me know - but I'm assuming that whatever the problem has been this whole time is still going on. It still breaks in the same place and works with the "usual" fix. -- 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
