Public bug reported: All I did was add a third SATA hard drive. Bios recognized the drive. I have Windows Vista 32 on my first SATA hard drive, while Ubuntu is installed on my second SATA. To be sure I first booted Windows Vista through GRUB. Vista had no problem starting. It immediately recognized the third SATA drive and installed it in a few seconds. I was able to see my old files on it.
I then restarted and this time let GRUB boot Ubuntu 8.04 beta. I have had this now for a while. Ubuntu started and led me to the login window followed by the password. However, after I enter the password, Ubuntu freezes and fails to go any further. All I see is the orange/brown screen. I was actually going to add another SATA drive but since this problem I have stopped. I do not know if this is a bug or a install program problem? Why would Ubuntu not recognize new hard drives and automatically install them, as Vista did? NOTE: Prior to the addition of this third hard drive Ubuntu was working fine off my second SATA.
