This bug is now retitled as a bug with ata_piix, having migrated from
piix.
** Summary changed:
- Casper does not load piix CD-ROM module.
+ piix migration to ata_piix breaks PATA: CRX880A
** Description changed:
- When installing Fiesty gold with the desktop Live CD, certain CD-ROMS
- are not recognized, such as Sony's CRX880A. This is due to the fact that
- Fiesty does not probe the piix driver (note: not the same as ata_piix).
+ With distributions (ie. Ubuntu's Gutsy Gibbon) now deprecating the 'piix'
driver,
+ we are forced to use the 'ata_piix' instead. This driver, however, does not
work
+ properly with Sony's CRX880A CD-ROM.
This causes problems with certain Dell Lanai (Inspiron 1420) laptops, which
come standard with this CD-ROM. The issue has been worked around by
using the 'break=top' kernel directive, and executing 'modprobe piix; exit'.
+ However, in Gutsy the piix driver will not be included anymore.
- This issue does not appear to happen using the d-i alternative installer, but
- only happens using the Ubiquity installer (which is shipped with the Lanai).
+ The ata_piix driver therefore needs a patch to fix the CRX880A for
+ Gutsy.
** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu)
