8.04 does not know disk hardware

[lexmol]

Tried to fresh install Desktop, Server and Alternate from CD.
All installations (AMD64) do not recognize my disk hardware:
Shuttle SG33G5 with:
Core Duo E6750 (Conroe) with MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3 and EMT64T
2 Barrcuda's 7200.9 (ST3500641AS
4 GB memory (2*GB 800-444 XTX Tita K2 OCZ

Gutsy gibbon (7.10)did OK.

What is wrong? :(:(:(

Use the Alternate CD. Burn a new CD after doing md5sum. Burn at 4x or less on CD-R, check CD integrity before install.

Same problem here.

Tried installing 8.04 on the shuttle sg33g5 at a friends and it went all wrong. 7.10 installed fine, but when I updated it "bang" errors show up. I got "ata1.01 - cmd" and "exception emask" errors.

Specs are "seagate sata2 320gig", intel dual core2 2.33, and the shuttle sg33g5.

I haven't tried the alternate cd, or the amd64 yet but will try it. Just wondering why 7.10 works all fine out of the box from a i686 cd??? Any important changes in the kernel?

If you are using Nero in Windows, it will not cut it. Download ImgBurn:

Install. Go to Mode>ISO>Burn Use good quality CD-R at 1x

I didn't use nero. I used k3b on linux ubuntu 8.04 at home. The cd is fine, since I installed it on a recent computer without any issues. I don't believe its a burning issue, but more with the release of 8.04. The only leads I have is to change some options in the bios concerning legacy mode and insert the following:
SATA = AHCI Native Mode
AHCI = On
processor = Native Mode

Boot Options:
acpi=off noacpi nolacpi pci=conf1

I will try this once I am back at my friends place and can trouble shoot it. I will post my progress if successfull. If not, I will revert back to 7.10 that worked fine.

It's your harware then.

It's your harware then.
the hardware is not what is at fault since ubuntu 7.10 installed fine on it. i actually installed 7.10 on the machine without any fuss, but then decided to upgrade it with the update tool to 8.04. The process took longer than anticipated, but i ended up with the same errors i got when trying to boot from the live cd.

Something in 8.04 is not recognizing my hardware correctly, and is preventing me from running it.
