Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 ==> Feisty? 7.10 - CD-ROM Drive not recognised
Hi all. I have an Asus P5WDG2-WS-Pro, and am having trouble trying to install a version of Ubuntu I got from the last WLUG install meet - (This is the Feisty 7.04 Alternative CD I believe - will need to double-check this). Basically it boots from CD fine, but fails to recognise the CD-ROM drive - is it not recognising the IDE controller? I will try to sort out a dmesg from when I boot the 7.04 CD. The strange thing is that Dapper 6.06 Live CD boots from same CD-ROM, and happily installs from the same CD-ROM - any recommendations on things to try?

You wont be able to use the cdrom drive for anything else if thats the drive you booted from. Is this what you mean? The OS image will be mounted from the drive, so it wont be separately visible. If you booted successfully, then the drive must of been supported. -- See my blog at http://snap-happy3216.blogspot.com

Hi. When attempting to install from the Alternative CD: (Ubuntu 7.04? Alternate CD? - ('uname -r' gives 2.6.20-15-generic kernel version when booted from the problem CD)) I can start the install process (i.e. choose to install in txt mode, kernel loads, can choose my language OK, detect/configure keyboard OK, i.e. the install process is running), but when I get to 'Detect and Mount CD-ROM' the install cannot proceed with "No common CD-ROM drive was detected". Some further info I just acquired which I will research later tonight: From the DMESG output: " ... scsi3: pata_marvell BAR5:00:04 01:7F 02:22 03:C8 04:00 05:00 06:00 07:00 08:00 09:00 0A:00 0B:00 0C:00 0D:00 0E:00 0F:00 ATA: Abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x0001ac07 scsi4: pata_marvell BAR5:00:04 01:7F 02:22 03:C8 04:00 05:00 06:00 07:00 08:00 09:00 0A:00 0B:00 0C:00 0D:00 0E:00 0F:00 ATA: Abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x0001a807 ... " lspci | grep Marvell finds: Marvell Ethernet1/RAID/Ethernet2 lspci | grep RAID gives: "02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Unknown device 6145 (rev a1)" Note that all of the above info was from the "2.6.20-15-generic" kernel which I assume is from the Ubuntu 7.04 Alternate CD. Cheers for any help. Elroy.

Not clearly understanding what you're doing here... Are you booting from the 7.04 CD (not 7.10 I presume - your title of email is wrong)? The dmesg and lpci output - is that from 7.04 or your old output? You're saying I think from 7.04 - did you drop to a command line to get it? If so can you tell us the output from: mount and also: cat /etc/fstab If you don't get it sorted then you can always take to the next Saturday workshop.

OK. Sorry for the confusion - I suppose I should have said this from the start: I am currently running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - "2.6.15-28-686". This works perfectly with my CD/DVD-ROM drive e.g. I can play CD's/DVD's and burn CD's/DVD's etc. not a problem. I want to update my machine from 6.06 to a CD I have here which is called "Ubuntu 7.04 Alternate CD" - this label may be incorrect, but when booting from it, 'uname -r' gives "2.6.20-15-generic" kernel version. For whatever reason, probably related to errors in prior e-mails, the install could not progress any further. Cheers, Elroy.

First; this is a two-step process. You need to upgrade to Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) and then you can upgrade from there to 7.04 (Feisty). Second; To upgrade you don't need to boot from the CD (although it may be another option, I'm not sure). Just put the 'alternate' CD in the drive while logged in and you should see a window pop up offering to upgrade the system. Third; there may actually be some issue with your hardware, but we'll figure that out on the day. Bring your computer along, I'll make sure I have the 6.10 images with me on Saturday and we'll get it all sorted out for you!

Hi Bruce I have been trying to sort out all my data, and finally have done so, and backed it all up, so would prefer to start with a clean slate than try to do an upgrade :-) Will try to be at the next install day. Cheers, Elroy.
