I think I had a similar related problem: I couldn't see the partitions on my /dev/sda device (both NTFS, ext3 and swap) when I was installing with either the Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop amd64 cd or the Kubuntu 9.04 Desktop amd64 cd. The 8.04 kubuntu cd however worked fine.
My motherboard is an ASUS P5Q. The problem would exist if I used the Silicon Image Sil5723 Serial ATA connectors on the motherboard [ Orange and White ]. As soon as I used the first ( of six) Intel ICH10R RAID controller Serial ATA connectors [ Red ] with RAID mode set in bios, I could see the partitions. Hope this helps someone. -- Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220706 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
