[Bug 817145] [NEW] Unable to find a medium containing live file system

[Cody A.W. Somerville]

Public bug reported:

Downloaded and burnt Ubuntu 11.04 (Ubiquity installer) to DVD on
friend's computer. Attempted to boot but was dropped to busybox with
error 'Unable to find a medium containing live file system'. After
finding a USB->PS/2 adapter so keyboard would work, I looked at
casper.log and found the error message '/init: line 7: can't open
/dev/sdb: No medium found' repeated numerous times followed by 'Unable
to find a medium containing a live file system'.

Modifying BIOS settings to use AHCI instead of IDE for sata related
stuff fixed the issue.
