2008-05-08 21:09:01 Saivann Carignan description When configuring the SATA drive in IDE mode for the Dell Inspiron 530, the Gutsy 20071016.1 alternate installer doesn't detect the drive. So, it just fails with the error message: No root file system is defined. As mentionned in the syslog file, I tried booting with the irqpoll kernel parameter and the disk is still not detected. When configuring the SATA drive in RAID mode, the installation completes successfully.

The Dell inspiron 530n includes a customized ubuntu that includes the Dell workaround for that issue, however any attempt to install a new ubuntu version without dell customization leads to computers that does not boot. Configuring the computer BIOS to use RAID instead of IDE is not a valuable solution since other operating systems like Windows won't boot without pre-installed SATA drivers unless BIOS is set back to IDE. IDE is the default "compatible" mode.

2008-08-15 17:32:19 Mario Limonciello dell: statusexplanation A root cause to this issue has been found; The BIOS Is leaving an interrupt open to be serviced when handing off control to the OS. The uhci_hcd module shares the same interrupt line and disables the handler before the IDE interrupt is serviced. In kernel 2.6.26 this issue doesn't occur in the exact same fashion, as it passes through, but the number of interrupts is now very large.
