It seems like that this bug was corrected in 2.6.28 - I have tried the daily build of Jaunty with 2.6.28-11-generic (and also two other, 2.6.29-based distros: Fedora10 and Chaox) and I could use the CF card without any problem. (My configuration: Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe Motherboard (NForce2 chipset),

Hey, thanks for posting that bugzilla kernel link. I spent like 8 hours googling this over the weekend, but somehow I managed to miss that all important one. I'll try a 2.6.28 Jaunty this evening and see if it works. -- Ubuntu install to Compact Flash w/ ata_piix fails: ata1.00: exception Emask

Unfortunately the 2.6.28-11 kernel in the Jaunty daily build did not fix this for me. The CF died during install with the same errors as before. I'll download Fedora and see if it has the same issue. -- Ubuntu install to Compact Flash w/ ata_piix fails: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0

Sadly, this problem does not seem limited to the ata_piix driver. I just tried installing Intrepid to the CF card using the all_generic_ide boot parameter. I looked in syslog to verify that it was indeed using the generic ata driver. The install failed as usual somewhere around halfway through.

In the even that someone ever actually sees my bug report, I'd like to offer a related philosophical statement. There are like 80 pages of Ubuntu bugs similar to this one reported on launchpad - all with the same, or very nearly the same error message - from people with differing configurations.
