Hi all, I'm glad you've solved your problem, Lor3nzo, but it looks like we still have some digging to do before this is squashed. So, a few more things for you to try, jlord87:
First, since this doesn't seem to be the same as bug #84964, can you please try passing the "noapic", "nolapic", "acpi=off" and/or "irqpoll" options to the kernel (this can be done on the latest livecd by pressing "F6" at the livecd splash screen and typing the relevant command (without quotes) at the end of the boot command, but before the "--". You could also try removing the "quiet splash" part and see if you notice any error messages ). See if those help any. Next, I am curious as to what hardware the system recognises as being attached and what drivers it is using to do that. Can you please attach the output of the following commands (both with and without the above kernel options): ls /proc/ide/ ls /proc/scsi/ ls /dev/ | grep hd ls /dev/ | grep sd lsmod And finally, a few questions specific to your hardware: first can you try checking in your BIOS settings to see if your SATA controller can be set to a different mode (AHCI, Legacy, Native, etc) and see if changing that fixes the problem? Sometimes things like this can really be a BIOS bug. Second, can you please describe what hardware is connected to which controller and what you expect to be seeing detected. Here's what I gather from the dmesg: *hda is a 30GB Maxtor drive (PATA) *hdc is a DVDRW Is that correct? What am I missing? Possible abnormalities that I notice: *dmesg - line 105: "[ 31.133208] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found." *dmesg - line 134: "[ 31.313152] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 *10 11 12 14 15), disabled." *dmesg - line 239: "[ 34.681674] ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0677): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20060707]" Is any of that useful to a kernel dev? Ok, that's all I have for tonight :) Thanks a lot! -Gabriel -- can't find sata disk kubuntu 7 beta https://launchpad.net/bugs/95383 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
