The 8.04 setup doesn't find the HDDs (2x SATA) connected via ICH10 southbridge. I read that enabling AHCI can fix that, but there's also Windoes XP residing on that system and it was installed with AHCI disabled, so enabling AHCI will 'break' the Windows-installation.
I'm aware of workarounds to install an AHCI-driver on an existing Windows-installation, but I don't want to go there. Besides that, booting is a painfully slow process with AHCI enabled and there's no benefit from it on this system anyway.
So, is there a way to install Ubuntu 8.04 without having to enable AHCI?
Thanks.
