Comment 194 for bug 57502

This bug doesn't seem fixed at all... Edgy has been out for quite some time and I've been trying to install it on 2 motherboards that use the 965 chipset.

The first, an Intel DP965LT, I had to change all the SATA controllers to AHCI rather than IDE in the BIOS, and install from a USB CD-ROM. My PATA DVD-Burner still doesn't work on a fully updated Edgy system.

The second, an ASUS P5B, I had changed all IDE's to AHCI's in the BIOS, used a USB CD-ROM to install, had to pass the irqpoll and all-generic-ide to get the install cd to even recognize the hard drive, as well as boot once the OS was finally installed.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but if the issue was fixed, I (and what seems like a handful of others) wouldn't have to bother with these work arounds.

Is there something I've missed? Is there some information I could give you that would aid in solving this problem once and for all?
