I have the same problem. I successfully installed the Ubuntu Alternate CD on a 80GB IDE drive plugged into a system with a VIA system and CLE-266 chipset. This installation was not particularly reliable - it would hang within a few minutes to a few hours.
I moved the IDE drive to a box with a Zida Create Bxe-ATX motherboard and then saw the SRST failed message repeated during boot. Since I couldn't get that to work I moved the drive to a box with a Asus P2B motherboard and had the same problem. Then I moved the drive to a box with a Tyan S1832D motherboard and two Pentium II CPUs. This system worked fine and has stayed up without problem for more than 14 hours. All three systems use the Intel BX chipset, the first two have an AWARD BIOS while the working system uses an AMI BIOS. As suggested in bug 382269 I'll try a beta build of Karmic and report back. -- Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220706 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
