I can confirm this too. Enabling the JMicron controller in my BIOS (Asus P5W DH Deluxe) makes it look like the system hangs during booting. I see the splash screen, but then it immediately pauses. After a long time i see a slowbox console. It says I can type help, when I did this nothing showed up, so I pressed ctrl+alt+del and then I saw the help listing and the system wend for a reboot.
I'm running Feisty herd 4. Adding "all-generic-ide irqpoll" to my grub menu.lst had no effect (something I read on the forums). -- JMicron PATA/SATA Controller does not work https://launchpad.net/bugs/57502 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
