Bug#683705: Looks like SATA motherboard issue

[Daniel Dickinson <daniel@cshore.neomailbox.net>]

Hi,

I've done some checking and the problems so far have all occurred on 
motherboards with SATA.  The most current motherboard has both SATA and 
IDE and puts the CD which is on IDE as primary (Drive0) on primary 
controller and the SATA HD as slave on secondary IDE controller (which 
this board doesn't have).

Another one I was able to workaround by telling the BIOS to treat SATA 
as IDE, however the most recent one I can't do that, and it's the CD on 
IDE that's the issue anyway.

Fortunately USB boot works.

Regards,

Daniel
