[Bug 817145] Re: Unable to find a medium containing live file system

 

Cody A.W. Somerville, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please utilize your WORKAROUND and run
the following command in the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Unable to find a medium containing live file system

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Downloaded and burnt Ubuntu 11.04 (Ubiquity installer) to DVD on
  friend's computer. Attempted to boot but was dropped to busybox with
  error 'Unable to find a medium containing live file system'. After
  finding a USB->PS/2 adapter so keyboard would work, I looked at
  casper.log and found the error message '/init: line 7: can't open
  /dev/sdb: No medium found' repeated numerous times followed by 'Unable
  to find a medium containing a live file system'.

  WORKAROUND: Modifying BIOS settings to use AHCI instead of IDE for
  sata related stuff fixed the issue.
