I can confirm this bug on my Dell Inspiron 530n (the FreeDOS version). Booted happily on Gutsy, but would not boot after upgrading to Hardy release version via update-manager.
Either adding "all_generic_ide" to GRUB *or* switching the SATA mode in the BIOS from "IDE" to "RAID" allowed it to boot normally. kernel: 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux dmidecode output: attached ** Attachment added: "dmidecode.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13908680/dmidecode.txt -- Dell Inspiron 530 SATA drive not detected in IDE mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153702 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
