Bug#425851: Reproduced on my laptop... on the bare metal!
Eh... I installed 2.6.21(-1-k7) on my laptop today, and couldn't boot on
that kernel, with the same error message about the root filesystem, but
the following in dmesg (for some reason I ended up in busybox : neat!) :
ide0: I/O resource 0x3F6-0x3F6 not free.
ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe
ide1: I/O resource 0x376-0x376 not free.
ide1: ports already in use, skipping probe
I noticed too that my CD-ROM drive was detected as SCSI, while it is
normally detected by ide0 as hda.
Does that help?
