FYI the situation has changed a bit. When I upgraded to 8.04 (2.6.24) I became unable to see my ATA HDD. But after I upgraded to 8.10 (2.6.27) I can see my HDD, but not my ATA DVD-drive. Also I cannot boot with the pnpbios=off flag or vga=792. I thought that the display parameters ought not matter, but I can only boot without it. If I use one of these parameters the kernel just keeps writing:
If I don't it starts the initramfs busybox. Then I wait a minute or two and I get messages about some drive being detected. Then I press Control-D and it boots fine. The error message above still floods my kernel log though.

I have attached dmesg.
