I had a problem from the LiveCD (7.04 64-bit). I found a solution to the problem which called for putting a non-bootable disc in my fdd. That, believe it or not, worked.
The other solution that I read for this was to insert "break=top" in the startup parameters for the LiveCD and then type "modprobe piix" at the busybox prompt (followed by "exit"). However, the "break=top" resulted in stopping my keyboard from working! This was a fresh install onto an ASUS P5W-DH based system with an Intel E6750 in it. My other attached drives include: * DVD RW * ZIP 100 * (soon to also have my old PATA drive because I can't bear to toss it) I was able to get the LiveCD to start, and I could install Kubuntu (though I ran into a problem with partitioning which will be another entry). The final fix to this issue is apparently to ensure the "piix" module is always loaded by doing the following: # sudo vi /etc/initramfs-tools/modules -- then add "piix" at the end of the file # sudo update-initramfs -u ... I'm not that smart, I'm just sharing things I found via Google and hoping to add to the priority of this issue. The LiveCD should clearly be able to boot a system. The common comment/theory is that the issue arises when SATA and IDE HDDs are installed in the same system. -- Ubuntu feisty: Failed to set xfermode with 2.6.20-14 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103677 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
