Public bug reported: Download the media installation ISO file at https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/arm and burn it to a CD-ROM. Then, put it into the SATA CD drive to install Ubuntu into Mustang/Merlin boards (XGene platform), the Installer does not detect the CD-ROM so it report a dialog with below content: "Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again. Retry mounting the CD-ROM?". Investigate more on the installer media, I found that the AHCI driver is not enabled. Below steps I have done to check: - Mount ISO file and copy initrd.gz: # mkdir mnt # mount -o loop ubuntu-16.04.1-server-arm64.iso ./mnt # cp ./mnt/install/initrd.gz . - Extract initrd.gz: # gunzip initrd.gz # cpio -id < initrd - List the drivers/ata folder # ls lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers block gpio gpu hid i2c input media mfd power regulator rtc usb video No lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/ata folder exist.
Try to check with x86 installer media: # ls lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/ ata block char firewire gpio gpu hid hv i2c infiniband input media mfd net parport pcmcia power regulator rtc scsi tty usb video # lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/ata/ | grep ahci acard-ahci.ko ahci.ko ahci_platform.ko libahci.ko libahci_platform.ko Can you help to add AHCI support for Ubuntu ARM Media installer?
