I've found a work-around. I stumbled accross a bug involvoing Seagate Hard Drives. One suggestion to fix that problem was to use kernel parameter "all_generic_ide". I tried this parameter with my default, unmodified Gutsy kernel (2.6.22-14-generic) but it did not work. Then I tried it with my rebuilt Gutsy kernel that had PATA_VIA enabled. This worked. I am able to boot to the Gutsy kernel and have access to all my drives. All drives are installed as SCSI devices. The IDE modules are no longer being loaded, instead modules pata_via, ata_generic and libata are loading. So the steps to get the Via IDE chipset to work with Gutsy are...
Build a new Gutsy kernel adding just pata_via module support Install this new kernel Add "all_generic_ide" to menu.lst for the kernel parameter for the new kernel Reboot to the new kernel Rick Knight -- Unable to boot Gutsy kernel after upgrade from Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212042 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
