I get exactly the same output spinning forever in my ctrl+alt+f4 terminal as in the initial post for this bug. That's the syslog? This has prevented me from installing Ubuntu for a whole year already. I've also tried messing with various BIOS settings but nothing seems to help. The effect of the ata exceptions and errors is that the install CD integrity check fails occasionally and for different files most of the time. Even though it sometimes succeeds I've never managed to get a full install to work. Usually it craps out with a file is corrupt warning pretty early. I noticed sometimes the exceptions and errors are reported for ata3 and sometimes for ata7.
I've got an Asus P5K motherboard with that annoying JMicron controller. If I understand my hardware layout correctly I have a PATA DVD-Drive which is "converted" to SATA through the JMicron controller. Does this sound reasonable? I've been putting up with Vista for a year without being able to install ubuntu on my main PC :( -- Jmicron AHCI controller probs... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198871 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
