I was getting the device not ready in 8.10 and 9.04. My temp solution was to 
install onto an ide drive and use the sata raid for storage etc for now.

Bug description:
INSTALLATION problem for Hardy and IBEX as well.
During the install process I got the next messages [during an extremely slow 
installation process]
Hardy producess similar messages (30 min)
Ibex stops, 

Let me lists messages when Ibex install stops
I got the mesages below

BusyBox V1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1 ubuntu6) built-in shell (ash)

[121.128011] ata8:Softreset failed (device not ready)

What is the problem rally here with the install DVD? (regardless is it
Hardy or Intrepid the same messages I got)

GA-EP45-DQ6 motherboard
(http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2831)


[ The South Bridge: 6 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATAII0, SATAII1, SATAII2, 
SATAII3, SATAII4, SATAII5) supporting up to 6 SATA 3Gb/s devices are connected 
but
I did not connected any sata cables to 2 x SiI5723 chips : -4 x SATA 3Gb/s 
connectors (GS0-Source, GS1, GS2-Source, GS3) supporting up to 4 SATA 3Gb/s 
devices - Support for Smart Backup (RAID 1) ]

I suspect that messages comes around the Jmicron & Sis5723 chips. Is it driver 
problem, not providing during the install ? 
See schematic 
http://www.hardwarezone.com/img/data/articles/2008/2559/dq6-sketch.jpg
Or more info on the motherboard  at 
http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/ep45-ds5-dq6-27384/


How to provide driver, if it is so? (There is no Ubuntu driver at 
ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/? [there is driver for e.g. fedora but none 
for ubuntu])
How to continue the installation, skip searching the ATA drivers for not used 
chip, get able to install the Ibex?
