Subject: [Bug 106864] Re: Feisty boot fail..., but piix fix doesn't work for me

I have a system that generally runs Linux/Ubuntu fine, but the 7.04 live
CD fails, just as described here. I tried the 'modprobe piix' fix, but
this didn't work for me.

The system has a SCSI as well as IDE interface, but there are no SCSI
drives attached. It has 2 IDE hard drives and an IDE CD-ROM. I tried
disconnecting one of the hard drives, but this didn't really help
either. Oddly, though, somewhere in the midst of trying the various
combinations, I did see the machine boot. Didn't work a second time,
though, which means either the problem is intermittent, or I
misremembered the config.

Anyway, is there any progress on figuring out why this is failing? I
could try tracking this down, but I don't have much idea what I'm
looking for.

05:0c.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7902 U320 (rev 03)
05:0c.1 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7902 U320 (rev 03)
