I suspected that they were related because the messages do not appear when I boot with the 2.6.17-11 kernel.
But they might also be related to the cdroms, because they appear in the drive list with the new 2.6.20-12 kernel, but they are not present in the list with the 2.6.17-11 kernel. -- kernel 2.6.20-11 doesn't boot with sata-hd https://launchpad.net/bugs/78288 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
