Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-generic
Hello, I can't give you infos that are following as the kernel doesn't start the system, and I fall down very fastly in a busybox.
I can just see that after booting on the live-cd, choosing "start Ubuntu without installing..." or another option which needs a kernel loading, it tries 3 times to find the Sata controller (one time at 3Gb/s, one time at 1,5Gb/s each cycle) and finally doesn't reach it.
here is my specs :
