Bug Description
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.
The ata_piix driver therefore needs a patch to fix the CRX880A for Gutsy.

This doesn't seem like ubiquity's responsibility; it runs much later. A workaround might be possible in casper (though I expect that would break other systems), but it's really the responsibility of the kernel to declare proper modaliases so that hardware detection works.
Could you attach 'lspci -vvnn'?
