Bug Description
I am having a number of issues installing 64-bit Ubuntu 8.10 on a Intel DX58SO (Core i7) motherboard.
The 32-bit Ubuntu live CD/installer runs fine, but when I try the 64-bit installers, I get errors like:
ata1.01: status: { DRDY ERR }
ata1.01: error: { ABRT }
ata1.01: exception Emask .....
See attached log for more messages.
Starting up the partitioner hangs at 40% for a long time. This may be because the hard drive was originally used in a RAID array?
Support for the Intel® 82567LM LAN Ethernet is not detected by the 64-bit installers. Network seems to work fine in the 32-bit live CD.
I tried to fdisk a SATA HD in the 32-bit live CD, and got the following:
Unable to read /dev/sda
dmesg log is attached.

The HD problems seem to have been caused by the HW RAID formatting on the hard drive I tried. With a brand new hardware drive, Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit installed flawlessly.
