I have the very same problem with (X)Ubuntu 11.04 (normal and alternate) i386 on a very new Dell OptiPlex 390 system. HDD is on SATA-0. The DVD ROM is on SATA-1. BusyBox v1.17.1 appears after selecting 'try Ubuntu without installation' telling me that it's unable to find a medium containing live file system. Changing HDD and DVD from SATA-0 to SATA-1 and vice versa does not solve the problem.
I'm able to install (X)Ubuntu from a USB device, but then no CD/DVD shows up. It's not visible in the Gnome Disk Utility and there's nothing I can do about it. The DVD ROM runs in Windows7 without any problems. DELL BIOS does not have any settings (like AHCI or IDE) for the SATA devices, except [ ] DISABLE and [X] ATA (SATA is configured for ATA mode). Of course [X] DISABLE does not help at all. A Linux Mint XFCE on a USB started as Live System can find and mount the DVD ROM with any media inserted (CD, DVD). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817145 Title: Unable to find a medium containing live file system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/817145/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
