[Bug 34524] installer locks up on via VT82c586 IDE interface

[Mark Van den Borre]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
     Assignee: Ben Collins
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Hi,

On my test machine with a a VIA VT82C586 IDE chipset and a CD-RW as the
only optical drive, about all distro's installers I've ever tested
hangs.

Dapper 2006/03/10 daily image is no exception if I don't explicitly pass
pci=noacpi and ide=nodma options. I couldn't find the ide=nodma option
mentioned amongst the startup options. Maybe I overlooked it?

I contribute this bug report in the hope of doing something useful.
Please close this bug if that is not the case!
