Lucid Asrock ION sata disk not detected?

Just tested the full desktop installer and it doesnt install either to hdd on system, whatever it is, Lucid is borked big time.

Is anyone ever going to look at this?

Hello and thanks for reporting this bug, I am sorry that nobody have had the time to look at this bug yet. I am however not familiar with the install process and not the right person to triage this bug.
To get some help/attention to this bug, irc might be a good place to start. #ubuntu+1 and #ubuntu-testing on irc.ubuntu.com might be a good place to ask.

Hi

I would appreciate that if you could perhaps pass this to someone who can triage this, as it happens IRC and both channels you mention are very disappointing, in my experience it only fuels frustration.

Hope you can help otherwise this will never get looked at.

can anyone pls have a look at this at all.

X3: please don't subscribe random teams to bug reports.

Which ISO did you use to install?

I'd look at your logs, but:

$ unrar -xf logs.rar

unrar 0.0.1 Copyright (C) 2004 Ben Asselstine, Jeroen Dekkers

Extracting from /home/cjwatson/logs.rar

Extracting logs/dmesg Failed
Extracting logs/hardware-summary Failed
Extracting logs/messages Failed
Extracting logs/syslog Failed
4 Failed

Could you attach the logs in a friendlier format? Usually it's best to just attach each of them as separate attachments.

I don't need dmesg, hardware-summary, or messages, but I do need the partman log in addition to syslog.

@ daniel

used the isos available now from here http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/netboot/lucid/ and also all the available desktop install images from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/

@ colin

the syslog is 8MB

The partman log I cant find for the minimal karmic install and since the lucid fails no logs are created.

I did a full search for partman and no yielded results, please let me know if I can create the information required for you using my current install.

I ran into a similar issue on a full desktop install on another machine and found that dmraid was causing the issue.

For me the disk partitioner in the installer was hanging, showing no hard drives. I couldn't continue, all I could do was quit.

For me the fix was to remove dmraid

Not sure how to do it with the netboot iso, but with the full x86 iso I booted into the live cd (works fine). and opened a terminal and ran:

sudo apt-get remove dmraid

after it was removed the installer detected the hd.

Perhaps something similar could be done in the netboot iso?

I have a ION machine at home that I was hoping to install 10.4 on tonight. I'll give it a shot and see what I can come up with.

NOTE: In the full .iso there is an F6 option for nodmraid or some such.... this STILL causes the HD to not be detected.

Hope that is helpful.

X3, did you tried Maverick, and if so, is it still an issue ?

No I didnt try maverick, nor is there any point, simply because the xbmc is barely now supporting lucid, I dont think dismissing lucid altogether, without fixing it there is a solution, not that t matters, since I doubt a fix will ever appear.

One waits months here just to get irrelevant questions.

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
