[Bug 543875] Re: unable to find a medium containing a live file system

[kirkevonphilly]

In regards to Chip Piller's comment #17, I can confirm I was
experiencing the same issue with a Toshiba Portege R835-P50.

I was trying to install Linux Mint 11 from a USB created with
UNetbootin.  I received the message when the USB stick was in the USB
3.0 port.  Swapping it over to the 2.0 port allowed it to work fine.

Title:
  unable to find a medium containing a live file system

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When trying to boot Ubuntu 10.04 beta1 64bit on the Primary Slave IDE CD-ROM drive it fails with the message:
  stdin: error 0 (repeated over 25 times)

  BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu9) built-in shell (ash)
  Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

  (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system.

  If I switch my CD-ROM drive over to Primary Master IDE then it will
  boot no problem.

  I'm not using any of the other IDE ports, my HD is SATA.

  Problem still exists in Natty.
