kernel fails to boot when multiple SATA drives are connected

[Serge Vereecke]

Binary package hint: udisks

When booting with kernel version 2.6.31.19 my laptop which has 2 SATA drives starts correct. But with the upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 the booting fails when using the 2.6.32.22 kernel
Kernel 2.6.32.22 fails to boot when multiple SATA (2) drives are connected. Removing one SATA drive (dev/sdb) and kernel 2.6.32.22 boots.
Getting errors on booting the 2.6.32.22 kernel

When removing the /dev/sdb disk, the kernel boots without a problem with all kernel versions. But with a second disk in place kernel version 2.6.32.22 and also version 2.6.35 fall back to the initramfs command line.
