[Bug 285392] Re: Softreset failed (device not ready)

 

As far as I know, I only get this at boot.  14.10 64-bit.  I'd write
that up, but it seems innocuous for me.

Bug description:
  INSTALLATION problem for Hardy and IBEX as well.

  Let me lists messages when Ibex install stops
  I got the mesages below

  BusyBox V1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1 ubuntu6) built-in shell (ash)

  [66.064009] ata7:Softreset failed (device not ready)
  [76.084008] ata8:Softreset failed (device not ready)

  What is the problem rally here with the install DVD? (regardless is it
  Hardy or Intrepid the same messages I got)

  GA-EP45-DQ6 motherboard
  (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2831)

  [ The South Bridge: 6 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATAII0, SATAII1, SATAII2, SATAII3, SATAII4, SATAII5) supporting up to 6 SATA 3Gb/s devices are connected but
  I did not connected any sata cables to 2 x SiI5723 chips : -4 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (GS0-Source, GS1, GS2-Source, GS3) supporting up to 4 SATA 3Gb/s devices - Support for Smart Backup (RAID 1) ]

  I suspect that messages comes around the Jmicron & Sis5723 chips. Is it driver problem, not providing during the install ?
  See schematic http://www.hardwarezone.com/img/data/articles/2008/2559/dq6-sketch.jpg
  Or more info on the motherboard  at http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/ep45-ds5-dq6-27384/

  How to provide driver, if it is so? (There is no Ubuntu driver at ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/? [there is driver for e.g. fedora but none for ubuntu])
  How to continue the installation, skip searching the ATA drivers for not used chip, get able to install the Ibex?
