Seems to be old-IDE related.  There are lots of links to follow ;)

It is unclear whether this is a regression.  Was this bug also present in
all earlier kernel versions?

I'v successfully installed Feisty or Gutsy under this computer.

Comment 3 Patrice Vetsel 2008-01-29 09:38:14 UTC

For the moment i just can say that 2.6.22 works. I'm trying to find ubuntu hardy alpha1 and 2 to test "older" 2.6.24 kernel

Comment 4 Richard Genoud 2008-03-14 02:08:18 UTC

Patrice, can you test if you can boot with your plextor drive configured as slave (by jumper) ?

Richard.

Comment 5 Patrice Vetsel 2008-03-14 09:16:04 UTC

Ok. I'v set my Plextor PX-740A to Slave on all is working ! GREAT !

I should add for informations that my PX740-A is alone on IDE1 (hdc/hdd)

Comment 6 Richard Genoud 2008-03-15 03:19:50 UTC

Ok, so it's the same than mine.
It should be marked as duplicate of #10239. (I can't do it myself)
(this one is older, but there more accurate informations in #10239)
