Comment 16 for bug 91940

I get this problem also on a:
00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB (ICH5) SATA Controller (rev 02)
on a dell dimension 8300. Using;
ii linux-image-2.6.20-12-generic 2.6.20-12.20

The boot would hang giving the following messages. I can speed it up by opening and closing the CDROM drives a few times.

I fixed it by recompiling the ata_piix driver from source using the patch I found at:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/4/259

Hope you include it or another fix in edge. Thanks for the good work.
