    Me three. I don't understand why 10.04 was released with this pretty serious bug - now we're stuck with defective LTS discs for the next two years.

    Re: Ubuntu on MacBookPro7,1

    Managed to hook up an LG drive via an IDE to USB converter. Install battles through until it comes up with

    No drives detected, and gives me a list of drivers, I've selected "none of these" from the list and put the above attachment on a USB drive, I then get an error saying no kernel modules were found

    I can boot into the live OS and installed the DKMS package but i still cant access the partition. My guess is to add the modules for the whilst in the live OS and install ubuntu on the partition, reboot into the live OS again and chroot the partition and put the modules on, i could be talking out my *** tho....

    any ideas?

    1. A computer is a machine for rearranging bits
    2. The Internet is a machine for moving bits from one place to another very cheaply and quickly

    I'm not sure how installing applesmc is supposed to help make sata work... ?

    Kind of off-topic note:
    FreeBSD 7.3 sees both drives, which seem to work flawlessly.

    Re: Ubuntu on MacBookPro7,1

    Hi everybody, I have the same problem, too. I succeded to boot live cd only using cd + usb key and holding down the C key. Than, I can't see my HD in the installer nor in Gparted or other command-line tools... It seems that it's not a "macbook-only" problem, I found in the italian forum some other people that are unable to see their HD, even though they're PC users... Any idea???

    PS. in the italian forum they succeded to install ubuntu 10.04 on those computers I mentioned above. They used ubuntu 10.04 64 bit alternate cd, and answered "no" when the installer asked them if they'd like to use raid tecnology. I haven't tried this yet, if anyone of you'll do it, please let us know!

    Is the macbook not a 32 bit processor?

    I have ran through the 32 bit alternate and desktop install dvds but it still wont pick up the HDD ( i didnt see any mention of RAID tho) were the using a standard build or a nightly? Downloading the 64 bit alt image now, blank CD in the drive ready to go

    Cheers

    Is this a problem strictly with Lucid, or no version of Ubuntu can be installed?

    Ok, I tried myself the alternate 64 bit, and it can't find /dev/cdrom, nor a module to use. I tried also the live installer after installing applesmc downloaded from this thread, and nothing... I really don't know what to try now...
