Comment 6 for bug 213284

We build a PC with an ASUS P5E3 WS Pro motherboard carrying also the Marvell 88SE6145 SATA/PATA controller.
We have tried the following Ubuntu CDs 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 and 8.10 in different flavours. None of them was
able to boot from the PATA DVD Drive; installing 8.04 from a SATA drives worked though. Since SuSE 11.0
and the well known http://www.sysresccd.org/ are also effected, I assume the problem is still present upstream
even in kernel 2.6.27

My son discovered the following thread about this matter:

There is a discussion between Alan Cox and Jeff Garzik about this matter.
