Why the Ubuntu Server installer always require the CD-ROM detection to continue installation? In other OSes such as SUSE, CentOS, Fedora, ... I can install without the need of CD-ROM. Just dd-ing the ISO file into a USB key drive and use it for installation.

Then, put it into the SATA CD drive to install Ubuntu into Mustang/Merlin boards (XGene platform), the Installer does not detect the CD-ROM so it report a dialog with below content: "Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again. Retry mounting the CD-ROM?". Investigate more on the installer media, I found that the AHCI driver is not enabled. Below steps I have done to check: - Mount ISO file and copy initrd.gz: # mkdir mnt # mount -o loop ubuntu-16.04.1-server-arm64.iso ./mnt # cp ./mnt/install/initrd.gz . - Extract initrd.gz: # gunzip initrd.gz # cpio -id < initrd - List the drivers/ata folder # ls lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers block gpio gpu hid i2c input media mfd power regulator rtc usb video No lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/ata folder exist.
