After reading those two bug reports completely through (yes, those impossibly-long pages) it seems that my problem might be a duplicate, but I'm not sure yet. If I'm right, my motherboard has one SATA port which includes RAID-controller, and the other four are normal. My HD is NOT connected to RAID-controller.
At the installation I used Desktop CD which was released 26th of October. I haven't tried alternate CD yet as it is still being downloaded. If that doesn't work I'll also try daily builds and report more. P.S. should we continue this discussion here or is this topic declared as a duplicate...? Though, I noticed that I'm not the only one who has problems booting the system at all... -- Ubuntu won't install on Core 2 Duo at all. (nor 6.06/6.10) ) https://launchpad.net/bugs/68612 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
