I am working on a system with what seems like identical issues, so far feisty will install but gutsy will only upgrade from feisty, the addition of all_generic_ide to the end of the boot command in the menu.lst seems to work but
its still very slow. I think the problem is the seagate drives report a non existent sector. this causes a massive slow down in boot up times. I am going to try hardy alpha2 alternate and see if it works. It installs without issue problem with some updates but thats to be expected.
perhaps this is related Bug #156428 https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux-source- 2.6.22/ +bug/156428
If it is this problem (with 2 seagate drives) the fix appears to be
static const struct drive_list_entry hpa_list[] = {
{ "ST340823A", "ALL" },
{ "ST320413A", "ALL" },
{ NULL, NULL }
};
