Re #3: This bug only occurs when a specific kernel or other issue is wrapped into the live ISO. When any additional hdd are disconnected the live ISO boots fine and install can commence. Install will then go fine and the kernel and system as a whole will work correctly.
What good will now testing a upstream kernel do on a now running system and not wrapped intoa live ISO? A better scenario for testing and debugging needs to be foud here and not the canned ones. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1262069 Title: [Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3] Cannot boot from live ISO with more than one hdd attached to system Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu Gnome - 14.04 dev release - 20131217.
