Thanks, Pierre. I was able to continue with the installation after: 1) Setting the SATA Type to Native IDE instead of AHCPI. 2) Using the Alternate CD image instead of the Desktop CD image.
Two "softreset failed" messages (one for each of two SATA drives) now appear at boot, but as far as I can tell no real problems are occurring. -- Softreset failed (device not ready) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285392 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
