[Bug 1175402] Re: Failure to find SSD and HDD

[iru]

Phillip,

I am not sure if this will be of any help but I burnt a copy of CentOS
which I think is based on RedHat onto a USB.

Tried to bootload and install. Simply hung.

CentOS has a text mode boot/install option so I selected that and though
I have no means of capturing the data or stopping it without losing
thedata I can see what is happening as things roll up the screen.

This is a synopsis of whot I have seen (could not record it all):

ATA1 Sata
ATA-8 Hitachi
ATA-9 Samsung

  SD - 500 (the Samsung)
  SD - 32  (the Hitachi)

  SD 0:0:0:0 [SDA]
  Attached scsi disk

   sda: sda1 sda2 sda4

  MD Bind<SDB>
  MD Bind<SDA>
  .........................Long pause

dracut : mdadm: failed to run array /dev/md126: Invalid argument

The above two lines keep repeating and repeating

Title:
  Failure to find SSD and HDD

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Gentlefolk,

  I have a Toshiba U840W laptop with a 32G SSD and a 500G HDD. Runs
  win7. Has 200G spare space.

  I have tried to install Ubuntu and MINT off a USB flash. I get the
  same problem in Ubuntu and Mint. Currently have Mint on the USB flash.

  I have:

  1. Updated the BIOS to the latest version. No improvement.

  2. On Mint 14 performed an apt-get install ubiquity and installed 75MB
  of update.

  3. On Mint 14 performed "ubiquity -d".

  The problem is that ubiquity does not see the SSD or the HDD.

  On the first "installation type" screen it reports "no detected
  operating systems" (win7 is installs and boots).

  I choose "something else" and on the second "installation type" screen
  only /dev/sdc USB flash is displayed.

  Any file manager displays displays the directories in the windows partition.
  GParted displays all partitions and unused space on the HDD.

  I will attach log files.

  Any assistance/solutions/direction appreciated, Ian
