Comment 31 for bug 285392

Updated pulling ram to 2 gigs didn't help. I also had to use alternate iso 9.04 ubuntu desktop to get raid configured and installed as a raid 0, where as reg desktop ubuntu (8.10 and 9.04) and win xp see the two drives as two separate entities.

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

Since this seems to affect quite a few people, let's report this
upstream. I have very little time now, but if I install Jaunty if it's
ready and the error is still there, I'm going to report this. The linux
guys should be able to give out a statement whats going on I think.

Bug description:
INSTALLATION problem for Hardy and IBEX as well.
During the install process I got the next messages [during an extremely slow installation process]
Hardy producess similar messages (30 min)
Ibex stops,

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)

[121.128011] ata8:Softreset failed (device not ready)
[126.148007] 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?
