Hiya,
I've had Breezy running with no problems in 32bit on two laptops and a desktop. Today, I assembled a 64bit machine, and I have tried to install the 64Bit Ubuntu on it. The system installs fine (I asked it to erase the entire disk), however when it ejects the cd and reboots, I get the following message, and then the systems hangs:
NVIDIA Boot Agent 201.0462
Copyright (C) 2001-2004 NVIDIA Corporation
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting NVIDIA Boot AgentThis message appears directly after the Verifying DMI Pool Data.... and Boot from CD/DVD messages (just before the GRUB should load).
Can someone please help me find a cure for this? The specifics of my pc are below:
CPU: AMD Athlon 3800+ 64bit Dual Core Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-K8N-Pro-SLI Graphics Card: 6600GT Series (SLI) Ram: 2Gb HDD: 250Gb SATA2
If it helps, the LiveCD ran without issue. Also, when the partition section came up, I chose:
Erase entire disk: SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda) - 250.1 GB ATA WDC WD2500J
Rather than
Erase entire disk and use LVM: SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda) - 250.1 GB ATA
Edit: Just tried the second of these two partition options, but still having the same problem. For what it's worth, I'm currently using it to write this (using the LiveCD and a wireless connection), so there is no problem with the PC. I have also checked the disk using the Disk utility as well as fdisk, and I can access it fine.
Any help really would be very much appreciated. I've been looking forward to getting this up and running for a while now!
Andy
FIXED: Had to disable the Raid controller from the Bios. All seems to be working now. Hopefully this might help someone else out in the future :-)
