Bug Description
I've successfully burned the Hardy alpha 2 release (md5 sums match) but it will not install. After a few moments it drops to Busybox and will not get beyond the point of loading the kernel.
My Feisty CD works, so this must be a relatively recent issue. I'm running a A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard with a Nvidia GeForce 6600, Plextor DVDR PX-740A (hda), two Raptor SATA drives (sda & sdb), and a Seagate IDE drive (hdc).
The screen messages I'm seeing at boot suggest a problem with the CD/DVD player. These include:
hda: lost interrupt
hda: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: task_in_intr: error=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: 0xa1
I've also seen a message suggesting a problem with the floppy disk:
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
This "end_request" message appears repeatedly (perhaps 8 times) before the installation drops to Busybox. I see no error messages regarding the SATA drives, just the IDE drives. Both of the IDE drives are configured as master, not cable select.

The installation will make some progress if I add all_generic_ide as a boot option when booting from the CD. This gets me past Busybox. However, the booting proceeds very slowly, hanging for a time on USB messages, and when I finally am able to get to the partitioner, I see that it has listed my Seagate IDE as sda, when it should be hdc.
