This is my "adventure":
i installed ubuntu feisty 7.04 with noapic and irqpoll options and i had a 
problem when partitioning... i couldn't do a manual partition, so i installed 
with the automatic partition. After the installation, when the system boot, i 
have a lot of errors on the ATA and the system hangs anf gives me the error 
"/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off". After that i found a guide 
on the web where there was some tips to install ubuntu 6.10 on my abit ab9 
motherboard. The guide says to install using irqpoll options at boot (i need 
also noapic) and it says to attach the hard disk to the jmicron sata port and 
disable Os usb legacy support in the bios. With these tips i installed ubuntu 
6.10 but i can't use the mouse. Then, when i make a apt-get update/upgrade i 
can't boot: another time a lot of error messages about a problem on the ata 
(same errors reported here). So, i tried to disable the jmicron port in the 
bios and i tried to boot with the hard disk connected to the ICH8 sata ports 
and the system started but, another time, i couldn't use the mouse. I made an 
upgrade to feisty but the upgrade hanged and now i can't boot because of a 
problem on /dev/sda1 that seems to be deleted: i receive this error at boot: 
"ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!".
Th question is: if i buy an IDE-SATA/PCI adapter do you think that i can boot 
and install my system in the meanwhile that this bug will be solved?
