Comment 22 for bug 179336

if i boot in verbose mode in Hardy alpha 5 i get this errors:

hda: status error: error=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: drive not ready for command
hda: status error: status 0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: status error: error=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: drive not ready for command
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs:mounted filesystem with oredered data mode.

this repeated for about 10 times, then it prompts me to BusyBox: if i enter modprobe all_generic_ide i get:

FATAL: Module all_generic_ide not found.

My Athlon 64 3500+ pc with Radeon X600 Pro PCIE card has two sata hard drives; IDE channel 0 master is the cd writer from which i boot Hardy.

I tried to disable IDE channel 1 which is empty from BIOS, i have a Gigabyte mobo provided with NVIDIA sata/pata controller

all kind of raid is disabled, ide channel 1 disabled, i even disabled floppy drive, but nothing changes

it sounds strange to me that Ubuntu looks for hda (not present) instead of sda (my Windows xp drive) or sdb (Ubuntu Gutsy)

I also have a SATA cd writer which i could put on my machine instead of the pata cd writer, in order to disable ide controller completely, but i'm not sure if this could help...
