I can confirm this problem for U10 and 8.10 (Intrepid) and 9.04 (Jaunty). I can boot from the "alternate" or "server" CD (as supported by OpenBoot), but during the installation, the installer stops as it cannot detect the CDROM drive. According to the dmesg output, *no* IDE is detected - no controller and subsequently no devices. The SCSI card that is present in this machine is detected, though. From the installer shell, I cannot mount anything, hence, so far I have been unable to retrieve a dmesg while in the installer. "lspci" lists the IDE controller as "Silicon Image, Inc. PCI0646 (rev 03)".
To verify, I tried to install 8.04 (Hardy) on the same machine - in this case, the IDE controller is properly detected (however, the install fails due to other problems). I have attached the dmesg as retrieved under 8.04.1. ** Attachment added: "U10 dmesg under Ubuntu 8.04.1" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33933360/dmesg.txt -- intrepid doesn't detect ide disk and cdrom on Sun Blade 150 (sparc) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296263 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
