Thanks for your bug report. This bug is a duplicate of bug 153702 so I mark it as such. A workaround to fix your issue is to go in the BIOS of your computer (F2 at boot), then go in "Integrated peripherals" and then change "SATA mode" from "IDE" to "RAID". Note that when changing IDE to RAID, if you also have Windows operating system on your computer, it may stop booting with RAID since Windows is not able to use "real SATA" without additional drivers.
