Public bug reported: I'm unable to boot the installation medium (USB or DVD) for 12.10 on my computer. The boot hangs after a few seconds. Adding the parameter libata.atapi_passthru16=0 to the kernel fixes the problem. This might be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/817147
