** Summary changed:
- SB600 IDE controller on ATI-RS690 host bridge = Busybox
+ SB600/RS690 multiple EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. ->
Busybox
** Description changed:
{ begin edit section by Paul}
SB600 and SB700 pre revision A21 are problematic on ATI RS690 host bridge:
- According to OpenSuse bug, both options are needed: "acpi=off pci=nomsi"
+ Workaround "acpi=off pci=nomsi" did not work.

Looks like some patch was given on Linux mailing list but unclear to me if it
was finally accepted:

{close edit section }
Ubuntu 8.10 kernel (2.6.27) succeeds booting but only on hpet=disable
Self-compiled kernels up to 2.6.28.2 succeed to boot on ubuntu 8.04 (no
initrd)
Anything higher (2.6.28.3+ on Ubuntu 8.10) fails to boot with messages
about not being able to find the hard disk, and drops to a prompt
(evidently the hard disk was found but appears in /sys as an error
instead of /dev)
2.6.29 on Ubuntu 8.10 fails to boot, and lists the disks that the ATA
system found (includes hard disk) but gets to a kernel panic because it
cannot find (0,0) or the sda device node.
Ubuntu 9.04 kernel (2.6.28.8 based) fails to boot, dropping to busybox
prompt, even with acpi=off, nolapic, noapic, hpet=disable, edd=on,
"verbose" replacing "splash silent" options. and on expert mode, the
messages when finding an ext3 filesystem loop over and over before it
gets to busybox.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2, SATA300 jumper on Maxtor disk
removed.
AMD Athlon X2 4800+ 2.5GHz virtualisation enabled
2 GB DDR800 RAM
Cheers!
