I have an ICH5 chip and my hard drives run off SATA and DVD+RWs on IDE I could not boot with 2.6.20-16 (the kernel would hang on the first step [find boot media or something])
After adding the irqpoll option to the kernel and disabling SATA to IDE emulation in BIOS (ie enabling SATA RAID but not actually RAIDing the drives) my system boots. I use UUIDs for the hard drives and the system will boot with the drives as sdax and sdbx with the ata_piix driver. I believe the problem is to do with the BIOS emulating the SATA controller as IDE 3 and 4, and possibly the order in which the kernel polls for devices. I hope this helps. -- SATA disk is in PATA mode with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (piix claiming SATA controller on ICH4/ICH5 Intel chipsets) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
