Bug Description
After upgrading to feisty boots take a long time, it's stuck at the very first position of the progress bar, and this seems to be what's causing it:
[ 29.128243] ata2: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x00010170 ctl 0x00010376 bmdma 0x0001ffa8 irq 15

I should note I have two CD-ROM drives hooked up on ata2 (i.e. secondary IDE channel) but only one is visible in the device manager. it is an " _NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A 2.15 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5".
Bug 96104 might be related, but I'm not sure.
Googling has revealed that there might be patches available that fix this issue for some drives:

I have exactly the same problem...
Sounds like Bug 96826 (have a look at some comments further down the page)..
Somebody posted a bugfix there as well, but I haven't had time to check it out so far..
