Reporting the same error on my Poweredge 2500. Was driving me nuts thinking my optical drive was bad, so i swapped it out and had the same error. Then had me thinking the cable or motherboard plug was bad. But did a search and found this bug and it's exactly what's happening to me. The 6.06 CD still boots and works fine, but 7.10 and 8.04 both fail (don't have a 7.04 disk to try).
I have 6.06 installed on my server now. Tried doing an LTS to LTS update via the update manager, but that's broken as well (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager- core/+bug/228849). So tried to backup and reload from scratch and now this stopped me. So, I'm stuck with 6.06 until either update-manager-core is fixed or this bug is fixed. That or it's time for a new server later this year. -- Won't boot on a DELL Poweredge 2500 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148466 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
