Comment 6 for bug 294123

Thank you, I just checked the bug and the workaround, but my bug seems to be a bit different, also the workaround didn't work for me...
However, I found that when I boot wit "all_generic_ide", the system comes up. But why is this only necessary on 2.6.27 and not on 2.6.24? Also, the network hardware doesn't work then, and the keyboard configuration is, errm, "odd" (no arrow keys, no right ALT ...) but that's a different story...
And isn't there a performance penalty involved with the all_generic_ide option?
