(Get the code!)
I am having the same issue. My drive reads fine in Windows. I can boot from the drive. I can use the drive in Edgy. The only system that does not seem to be able to read from the drive is Feisty.
I created a Feisty CD, and burned it on my Dell D620 (also running Feisty). I rebooted the machine and the disk came up. I ran the self check, and the disk reported no errors. I then went to my desktop, and tried to read it, and it would not read. After following several fix attempts posted on launchpad and UbuntuForums, I decided to try and install from a clean install. This CD would not install. It boots, it comes up with the menu, but when I try to check integrity of the disk, it gives me an error:
/bin/sh: can't access tty: Job control turned off
(initrdram)
I know the drive is good since it works in Windows. The CD is able to bootstrap the system. The problem only occurs once Feisty is loaded.
Attached please find all my diagnostics. Notice in the dmesg, that everything is fine with the drive until it tries to read the disk. However, this disk works great in another Feisty machine.
One noted difference between my laptop and desktop... the laptop loads the CD/DVD from IDE and the desktop is treating it as SCSI (sata). Not sure what difference that makes, since the SATA driver seems to work fine on the hard drive. But it was just an observation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
