Comment 9 for bug 315763

im trying to install ubuntu 9.04/9.10 server edition to an old x306m that has adaptec 9405w… and two sata 160gb HDD… since i don’t need RAID for these two… what i need is to just install an Ubuntu OS to the first HDD and use the 2nd HDD as data storage… taking note that i have both plugged in to adaptec 9405w…

i disabled the raid in bios, and when ubuntu prompted to Activate Serial ATA Raid devices:

when i said yes: i always end up in a ‘No root file system is defined’
when i said no: i used a guided partitioning and used the whole 160gb with LVM.. ubuntu detects a scsi3 (0,0,0) (sda) and installs the system…

but upon rebooting after installation:

Boot from (hd0,4) ext2
Starting up …
Loading, please wait…
no block devices found
no block devices found
no block devices found
no block devices found

Gave up waiting for root device… etc…

thanks for the help in advance…
