This problem appears to have completely gone away upon running aptitude update.
Appending piix to the modules file actually caused me NOT to be able to boot the machine. I left the disk in the fdd and did an update. I noticed on subsequent reboots that the fdd was not being spun up as it was when booting from the LiveCD and after initial install. My *guess* is that this is a problem with the kernel on the LiveCD. Presumably the gutsy LiveCD wouldn't have this problem (something I need to take a look at). -- Ubuntu feisty: Failed to set xfermode with 2.6.20-14 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103677 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
