Comment 6 for bug 158294

Hi,

I just read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates, and the
special section for Kernels:

"Critical bug fixes. These are categorized as non-security issues
relating to bugs that affect a large range of users. These are bugs
that keep users from reliably using their systems, or prevent booting
at all. These patches must pass through rigorous testing by
Canonical/Ubuntu and the community at large."

It would seem to me that the criteria have been met; anyone who has an
extra IDE-controller in their system is likely unable to boot. Without
fix, this means that using Gutsy is practically impossible, unless you
take the time to recompile the kernel, then download and recompile all
restricted modules (which does not work to well either).

I've already fixed it for myself, so if it's not fixed I don't mind,
but would recommend to reconsider anyway.

Best,
Fokko
