More confusing behaviour that I think is related to this bug (apologies if not).
I have a P5B and I've tried the beta (the desktop install CD) with an IDE DVD writer and a SATA hard drive. I've put the hard drive on both the JMicron controller and the ICH8 controller, tried both AHCI and IDE options on both and tried no extra boot command line options, as well as all-generic-ide and all-generic-ide irqpoll. In all of those combinations, the boot splash screen comes up, the DVD drive does nothing and after a while a screen with "Busy Box" comes up, complaining that it can't access tty because job control is turned off. Once again, apologie if this is the wrong place to be putting this... -- JMicron PATA/SATA Controller does not work https://launchpad.net/bugs/57502 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
