Robert,

Problem also occurs when I boot the OS from CD. I changed my AOpen CD-ROM drive to a LiteOn CD-Writer that solved the problem for me, because my machine is a desktop. Original CD-ROM drive runs fine under Windows XP, I did not try Vista.
But I agree with you, that when you have to change hardware every update the OS is actually unusable. When you have a notebook you are really out of luck!
I think you are right the ata_piix module causes the problem, however there is no soft fix available right now. A hard fix is to change hardware as metioned above. For your situation a really HARD fix!

Regards,
