"Are you bombing out during the install, or are you able to install on this box, but drop to busybox at boot?
If you're bombing during the install, I found that on the machine where I was having this problem, installing on less than 4 gig ram got through the install and the ahci/noacpi hack at boot time got it going. I still see the Softreset... message in the boot log, but there have been no performance issues running on a RAID 10. HTH, Kat" It was during the initial install. At first I thought it was the linksys card, because it was giving me fits under windows (which would just randomly lock up). I replaced the 1.5TB drive with two 500GB drives, and set them up in RAID 0 to see what that would do. I still got the error (after the menu where you first pick language and then the install option on the "Run live cd, install, etc" menu. But this time it only came up twice, very quickly, which I assume was once for each drive. It was maybe all of 4 seconds total before the actual install screen started booting. With the 1.5TB it showed the message atleast 3 or 4 times per install try, and the screen would take anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute or two to go away (if I hadn't given up and rebooted by then anyhow!) I didn't try doing IDE mode with the 500GB's, only Raid 0. I may also try AHCI to see what happens there. I'm going to finish the install and see how it runs. -- Softreset failed (device not ready) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285392 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
