** Summary changed: - [intrepid beta] SATA drive unable to identify + [intrepid] Compaq Presario CQ50 cannot install/boot
** Description changed: Ubuntu Intrepid beta iso from main ubuntu donwload page. Cannot install Intrepid, or Hardy for that matter. Managed to install Intrepid through Wubi from Vista. On bootup, the uspalsh screen stops after about 5-10%ish. I tried the ACPI problem boot option and the bootup halted at SATA drive detection. I am using a Compaq Presario CQ50-110EM laptop and I have seen others with this problem, which has now regressed into Intrepid. I am guessing that HP/Compaq have implemented some form of protection against installing any linux distro as I have tried others and tried several versions of *buntu. I am unsure how to grab a log of the bootup for problem solving, but am an avid Ubuntu user and want to see it working on this laptop. Thanks guys Addition : I have also tried the latest daily ISO 21st October, both the alternate and live versions, and neither work...BUT the alternate makes it as far as the installer and begins to partition the drive, but then fails. Update: Have tried the final release of Intrepid same problem. I managed to take a quick camera shot of the last thing it showed before the kernel halted on live cd bootup: pci_match_id+0x9/0xa0 pci_device_probe+0xe0/0x140 sysfs_create_link+0x13/0x20 really_probe+0x72/0x1a0 driver_probe_device+0x50/0x60 __driver_attach+0x8b/0x90 __driver_attach+0x0/0x90 bus_for_each_dev+0x6b/0xa0 kmem_cache_alloc+0x8b/0xd0 init_ath_pci+0x0/0x66 [ath_pci] driver_attach+0x21/0x30 bus_add_driver+0x1f8/0x270 init_ath_pci+0x0/0x66 [ath_pci] driver_register+0x75/0x170 __pci_register_driver+0x72/0xc0 init_ath_pci+0x0/0x66 [ath_pci] init_ath_pci+0x3f/0x66 [ath_pci] do_one_initcall+0x41/0x170 __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x21/0x90 sys_init_module+0xb5/0x1f0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ------[end trace]----- I don't see the point putting the CPU cycle times on the left bit in it didn't seem relevant. + I have Googled around and it doesn't seem to just be Ubuntu, on several + forums the problems seem to be the Atheros drivers locking up the + kernel, and also older SATA/AHCI drivers seem to cause issues with the + drives in this laptop. + Any help on this problem at all, or if anyone else has this same laptop and can confirm (or not) this problem. -- [intrepid] Compaq Presario CQ50 cannot install/boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287244 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
