Title:
  Unable to find a medium containing live file system

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
