same here again. 2.6.17-5 (if I remember well) don't boot at all, it uncompress the kernel, load essential modules and then hang on "mounting root filesystem". the timeout could be changed in include/linux/libata.h bu modifying ATA_TMOUT_BOOT, it is then used in drivers/scsi/libata-core.c
check this out, might be a solution. https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/37382 will try it later -- ata_piix problem with Intel ICH7 chipset https://launchpad.net/bugs/53754 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
