[Bug 543875] Re: unable to find a medium containing a live file system

[francesco visconti]

Dell Vostro 3550
Intel HD Graphics

Nor the install nor the live boot procedure work, they both end up with the same message:
"(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"

I tried both via cd and usb, 32 or 64bit (I actually have an x64), and
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 10.10, 11.04, Mint 11, OpenSuse 11.4.

Mint 11 pushes a kernel panic:
"No filesystem could mount root, tried ext4 ext3 ext2 fuseblk - 
 Kernel panic: not syncing VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (104, 1)"

Guess it's a hardware problem, since I tried to use the cds on my old
laptop (Dell Inspiron 6400) and everything was fine.

Title:
  unable to find a medium containing a live file system

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When trying to boot Ubuntu 10.04 beta1 64bit on the Primary Slave IDE CD-ROM drive it fails with the message:
  stdin: error 0 (repeated over 25 times)

  BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu9) built-in shell (ash)
  Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

  (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system.

  If I switch my CD-ROM drive over to Primary Master IDE then it will
  boot no problem.

  I'm not using any of the other IDE ports, my HD is SATA.

  Problem still exists in Natty.
