(In response to immediately previous post, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/190492/comments/33) >Using the pci=nomsi switch is completely safe and harmless. Where did you get that information?
And more importantly >However, this bug seems to be fixed in the 2.6.27 kernel. No. I tried to install from the final release alternate Kubuntu 8.10 CD and got hit by the problem. To install, I had to manually used pci=nomsi (using F6 to edit the kernel parameters). Also, I recently (on 2008-11-21) updated the system and tried removing the pci=nomsi workaround from menu.lst. Didn't work, so the workaround is still needed. I don't know why your Sata DVD drive now works, but for me the problem has remained the same until now. I have no idea whether this but affects Sata DVD drivers differently from Sata HD drives, or if your bug was a different one. -- Kernel hangs on boot (SATA, AMD64/i386) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
