Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 Beta

While trying to boot into the Live CD I receive this error: http://webpages.charter.net/muznic/IMG_0019.JPG

I have seen reports of this issue with Feisty and Edgy, but I didn't manage to find any dealing with Gutsy. It looks like I may have a reproduction of the issue.

Hi, I get one similar to this (dropped to busybox), but without the last more detailed line (COMRESET failed).

note that I get it 9 times out of 10, not 10 out of 10...

adding all_generic_ide to the boot parameters worked for me...

Also check your BIOS and try to disable/enable AHCI for your SATA controller and try again... see if results are different

I tried booting with the all_generic_ide and it didn't change anything.

I never tried changing my BIOS settings, but they are currently set at RAID / AHCI.

I managed to install Ubuntu Gutsy Beta with the Alternate CD, but the problem still isn't solved.

Not sure if this will be fixed... the release is so close.. it might be a show-stopper for me, I'm thinking of waiting till 8.04 and just throwing windows xp on the box until then...

[Gaspard Leon (gaspard.leon)]

seems to be working so far (cross fingers) with my fresh copy of 7.10 installed.

cheers,
