I am suggesting you try the libata pata_via module, because the old via82cxxx ide driver has been disabled in favor of pata_via since 2.6.24-13.23; and if it does not support your controller, report a bug as soon as possible so that it has a chance to get fixed before hardy release. > Also, I rebuilt the Gutsy kernel to add support for the pata_via module, > but that didn't help, I still can't boot into the Gutsy kernel. You can try downloading the latest hardy kernel and install in your 7.10(gutsy) installation. Again, remove the IDE modules from /etc/initramfs-tools/modules first before proceeding: $ wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.24-15-386_2.6.24-15.27_i386.deb $ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.24-15-386_2.6.24-15.27_i386.deb If you have empty space in your hard drive, you can try install hardy in a separate partition. I have been using it on a daily basis for one month. I've seen no major breakage. It's still not recommended for production usage though.
