Re: [Bug 362629] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 rc does not boot on k8
Well, I'm booting off a virtual partition and getting the same problem. Clearly its something wrong with the USB detection and power management.

[Bug 362629] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 rc does not boot on k8
I have the same problem here. SiS Chipset, Athlon 64 3000. The ACPI option at boot only gets so far as well before it dumps into busybox (usually around the USB detection). Not fun. I was greatly looking foward to this release as it seems driver situation for ATI has improved. I'll be watching this bug report. Oh, and ACPI is definitely enabled in my bios, sleep state is set to S3. I don't think it would be possible to disable it and still boot into XP without a reinstall. :/ -- Ubuntu 9.04 rc does not boot on k8 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362629 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

Re: [Bug 278159] Re: Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives
Sure. Make sure that your file table is correct and in proper order. That was my initial problem. I believe that I used cfdisk to show the partitions. Make sure that any extended partitions only contain logical drives. I had a logical drive somehow marked as a primary partition. Changing the bit allowed gparted to read the table correctly. It should throw a warning on such problems versus the silent approach, but I guess that doesn't really make it a bug. I'm looking at your partition table now and the first partition seems to just be unused (that 87megs), you can leave that. It is pretty normal to have slack or unallocated space at the beginning or ending of a drive, though 87 megs is kind of a large chunk. I'm guessing that grub at least works off the boot partition. First of all the windows logical volume manager is showing you all of your partitions and unallocated space. The fdisk from linux is only showing you partitions that are actually formatted and allocated. Thus the FAT partition at the end shows up. That 2.5 gig partition surely could be backed up to another partition can it not? I would suggest just trying to reduce the partitions at the end to 0 and simply deleting the whole extended partition, leaving just your dell recovery partition and the vista install intact. It will at least reduce the number of partitions that may be causing you problems. What does parted from the command line say? Overlapping partitions? Try opening the drive in cfdisk and doing a print (key P). It will tell you what the type of partition is and everything. Having that blank space with an extended partition following with more blank space and then a logical partition just might be compounding your issues. Why not make an extended partition to encompass everything after Vista and then break it into logical partitions? Three logical partitions, linux, swap, media. You can boot linux from any partition with grub or lilo. Cfdisk is probably going to really become your good friend here. -- Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278159 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
Re: [Bug 278159] Re: Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives
I'd still try to delete that extended partition and recreate it. Sounds like your partition table is pretty screwed to me. Rewriting it with windows or something might help. I don't think anything will work for you without changes to the table somehow. Unallocated space doesn't just suddenly appear or your table became suddenly corrupt. :P You can always recreate the FAT32 partition at the end for the media you might need to make the volume label the same, but I doubt the size matters as long as it is FAT32..have you thought about installing ubuntu on your windows partiton and boot selected with windows? :) -- Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278159 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

Same problem on the release candidate. cfdisk is now on the iso, and that also seems to report the correct table information. I think I can safely rule out that there is something wrong with my partition table. Isn't the installer partitioning utility based on gparted?

Sorry for all the comments (squeaky wheel, hehe). Also you might want to notice that the drive sizes are listed differently between cfdisk/fdisk and gparted. I think therein lies a clue. The ONLY software that refuses to correctly report the drive capacity and the partition table so far is gparted and the ubuntu installer. This is with the 32-bit installer. Haven't tried the 64-bit, nor would I really care to be honest. Athlon64-3000,sis raid180 serial ata, with the not so hot, not so bad sis (740?) AMD64 chipset.

Actuall I fail altogether. You cannot have a primary partition existing in a extended partition. Don't know why I didn't see that right away. I also have no clue as to how that happened. Partition table corruption? Strange. Deleting the partition in cfdisk makes it readable in gparted. Issue solved.

[Bug 278159] Re: Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives
The latest snapshot still does not show my partitions. Ubuntu's console fdisk shows them fine while the installer and gparted do not. Seeing as how I made the partitions with gparted in the first place, there should not be a conflict here. Writing the table from the console fdisk does nothing to alleviate the problem. I went to attach a screenshot, but apparently it was never saved to my NTFS partition. (Probably mounted read only) Though the file manager showed it as being saved on the partition. (another bug? ;) Oh yeah, the NTFS partition I mounted was on the drive that does not show the partition table under gparted. So I guess it shows up in /proc/partitions, which means that there is a bug in gparted and by extension ubuntu's installer. If I remember correctly I tried the text installer to no avail as well. Kind of a bummer for sure.
