@Zverinas, it's not all_generic_ide=1, it's all_generic_ide only. Another update to this issue, if I may. I had another customer this morning with a 530N system upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04.1 LTS which wouldn't fully boot after the upgrade.
Changing the BIOS setting of Integrated Peripherials -> SATA mode to RAID also works and is a bit simpler to assist with on the phone. Follow these steps: 1. While turning on the computer press F2 at the splash screen to enter Setup (BIOS) 2. Select Integrated Peripherals 3. Go to 'SATA Mode', press Enter 4. Change to RAID, accept the change 5. Press F10 to save & reboot -- Dell Inspiron 530 SATA drive not detected in IDE mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153702 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
