I have an AMD based chiset and i am trying to get ubuntu to boot right now and it is stalling, and i am having trouble ironing out what is going on. I have onbaord raid drives attached to the onboard raid chipset (SB710) however i am not intending to install to those drives the drive i wish to install to is actually a SATA connected single drive but i am having the worst time getting Ubuntu 12.04 to even finish its boot cycle. and im not getting allot of feedback. The errors i am getting are ata_id[336]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument - this is with all Raid disks disconnected and raid turned off in bios. just a single SATA HDD I get one of the two following errors if i have raid disks attached A similar entry as above comes up or i get udevd[167] inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/dm-1, 10) failed: No Such file or directory the most promising option i have so far is booting with nodmraid but it seems to just hang and go no place after detecting my CDrom devices This is rather perplexing overall. Ideally i would like my 2 onboard raids to be connected running windows and then let linux run amok on my extra sata hdd but it either is really pissed off in a way i cannot figure out or it really does not like that port. Anyone have any thoughts? -- A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
