[Bug 1094397] Re: cannot install ubuntu from usb

[Brian Murray]

There seem to be some errors communicating with your drives:

Dec 28 18:07:59 ubuntu kernel: [  121.244045] ata1: softreset failed (device not ready)

Dec 28 18:08:04 ubuntu kernel: [  126.444104] ata1: hard resetting link

I'd try resetting cables and see if that resolves the issue.
