Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

I have problems with Ubuntu 7.04 "live cd" and Ubuntu 7.04 dvd, (downloaded from torrent). There are very many problems. However I'll give you the error code for the "live cd", which will not "load" at all:

Debian "Busy Box" gives me these errors:

initramfs [128.583404] ata2.01: failed to set xfermode (err_mask = 0x4)
initramfs (164.383869] ata2.01: failed to set xfermode (err_mask = 0x4)
initramfs [169.384503] ata2.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask = 0x40)

The "md5sum" of this cd checks all the way through the burnt cd

There are "various problems with the (k) ubuntu dvd's, downloaded from torrents":

1. The "md5sum's" do not match the published omes
2. They cause several artifacts like "black screens", etc.
3. On one computer the "text install seems to be working", as the only function..... HOWEVER:

THE DISTRO SEES MY DRIVES AS SCSI. pr better. "/sda" drives, (at which point I quit)

What's gonna be the next move, or better: How do we proceed from here??

Note: KNOPPIX 5.1.1 loads normally, and calls the drives and partitions normally: /hdax and /hdbx drives

Using /dev/sd* for your drives is an upstream kernel change, and is perfectly normal and not a bug.

Could you attach the output of 'dmesg' on the live CD?

Er, or /var/log/syslog from the running alternate installer would do as well, since I notice you can't get the live CD to boot.
