Comment 93 for bug 153702

tikky : In case you didn't test the drive with dell diagnostic utility or with any other utility, you should definitively try this first. The fact that your computer is brand new does not mean that the drive is free from any defect. If your drives pass the dell diagnostic tests, can you go in the BIOS options of your computer, change controller mode from "IDE" to "RAID" and try to boot ubuntu again to see if it fixes the issue? Thanks for your feedback.
