Same problem trying to install 12.04 x64 on the second HD of a Dell XPS
17 laptop from USB.

1. checksum matches
2. tried setting all boot options at once, as well as edd=on by itself, as well as edd=on and acpi=off
3. tried all the usb ports (all but the far right boots into a blank screen)
4. SATA configuration was already set to AHCI in BIOS
5. boot order is USB, HD1, HD2, CD drive

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.
