I don't know if this is the exact same issue but I managed to "fix" Ubuntu 8.04 on my Dell Inspiron 530 by first switching to RAID, so I could boot into Ubuntu, then forcing the SATA driver to load before USB driver by following the instructions at this site:
http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.04/Issues/USB- SATA_race_condition_causes_hang Although it's for 7.04 it worked for me on 8.04. -- Dell Inspiron 530 SATA drive not detected in IDE mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153702 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
