That's also covered on the same wiki page :) The driver for the hard drive controller isn't in the kernel that you get with an ubuntu install. I filed a bug but it's not been fixed. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/318805 is the bug report. I have put the module needed:- http://popey.com/~alan/viglen/2.6.27-7-generic_pata_cs5535.ko for 2.6.27 (for Ubuntu 8.10) http://popey.com/~alan/viglen/2.6.28-11-generic_pata_cs5535.ko for 2.6.28 (for Ubuntu 9.04) Grab the one for the version of Ubuntu you're installing and rename it to pata_cs5535.ko. What I had to do was boot the USB stick, then (before the partitioning section, but after the network comes up) switch to a terminal (ALT+F4) and the scp from another machine over the network, then modprobe it to load it into memory, then switch back to the installer (ALT+F1) and continue. If that doesn't make sense, let me know. Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
