Public bug reported: Downloaded and burnt Ubuntu 11.04 (Ubiquity installer) to DVD on friend's computer. Attempted to boot but was dropped to busybox with error 'Unable to find a medium containing live file system'. After finding a USB->PS/2 adapter so keyboard would work, I looked at casper.log and found the error message '/init: line 7: can't open /dev/sdb: No medium found' repeated numerous times followed by 'Unable to find a medium containing a live file system'.
Modifying BIOS settings to use AHCI instead of IDE for sata related stuff fixed the issue. ** Affects: casper (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: - Downloaded and burnt Ubuntu 11.10 (Ubiquity installer) to DVD on + Downloaded and burnt Ubuntu 11.04 (Ubiquity installer) to DVD on friend's computer.
