Hello I just tried this I am 100% NOVICE to UBUNTU I followe the advise as sent to me by my friend it worked fine with a BUT: It installed UBUNTU I chose the automatic disc division etc. than after installation when I restarted UBUNTU as needed i encountered the same error BUT was unable to re insert the promts and no matter when I clicked on F6 it went straight to the same error disappointed I types EXIT instead of holding the power button for 5 seconds and OH MIRACLE .... UBUNTU booted up fully and even downloaded 18 updates ( I have made screen pics of it all as good as possible) when I reboot the 2nd time I got the same mistake again BUT again when I typed " exit" the UBUNTU did boot up ( I did film it with my digital camera)
Who can tell me WHEN exactly to type in the F6? and 1. Add piix to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. and IS THIS CORRECT ? piix/etc/initramfs-tools/modules. Thanks Try this Bug 106864 covers this. Here's a summary of the solution: To Install Feisty: 1. From the main live CD menu press the F6 (? I don't really remember which F key it is) key to customize the boot command. Add the option break=top to it and boot up your PC. 2. When you get to the dreaded (initramfs) prompt, type modprobe piix, and press enter. 3. Type exit to resume the normal live CD boot. The install process should go smoothly from here on. However, when you reboot your PC your are likely to run into the same problem. So do as above to be able to boot your PC into your brand new installation. The permanent fix is the following: 1. Add piix to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. 2. Run the command sudo update-initramfs -u . If everything goes well, you won't see this problem ever again. I hope this helps. -- Feisty boot fail "can't access tty" IDE SATA problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106864 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
