Public bug reported:
The Ubuntu 8.04.2 liveCD will not run on a Dell Optiplex 960.
If a Ubuntu 8.04.2 image is deployed to a Optiplex 960 to get it to boot you
have to load an 8.10 live CD, change the root to the local disk, edit the
sources to use intrepid releases, update the kernel to 2.6.27.9 (and
backports-modules) to get the machine to boot.
This is expected to be due to the sata3 hdd.
It would be good to have some sort of fix for this available so you
could just chroot then update to fix the problem.
This is somewhat a problem with the LTS failing on one of the three
standard corporate machines. I assume there will be similar problems
with the equivalent HP and IBM offerings.
