Public bug reported:

Download the media installation ISO file at 
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/arm and burn it to a CD-ROM. Then, put 
it into the SATA CD drive to install Ubuntu into Mustang/Merlin boards (XGene 
platform), the Installer does not detect the CD-ROM so it report a dialog with 
below content:
"Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the 
CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again. Retry 
mounting the CD-ROM?".
Investigate more on the installer media, I found that the AHCI driver is not 
enabled.
Below steps I have done to check:
- Mount ISO file and copy initrd.gz:
 # mkdir mnt
 # mount -o loop ubuntu-16.04.1-server-arm64.iso ./mnt
 # cp ./mnt/install/initrd.gz .
- Extract initrd.gz:
 # gunzip initrd.gz
 # cpio -id < initrd
- List the drivers/ata folder
 # ls lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers
block  gpio  gpu  hid  i2c  input  media  mfd  power  regulator  rtc  usb  video
No lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/ata folder exist.

Try to check with x86 installer media:
 # ls lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/
ata  block  char  firewire  gpio  gpu  hid  hv  i2c  infiniband  input  media  
mfd  net  parport  pcmcia  power  regulator  rtc  scsi  tty  usb  video
 # lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/ata/ | grep ahci
acard-ahci.ko
ahci.ko
ahci_platform.ko
libahci.ko
libahci_platform.ko

Can you help to add AHCI support for Ubuntu ARM Media installer?

Thanks,
