[Bug 19749] Re: SATA HDD not recognized during Breezy Colony 4 install or Dapper Flight 3 or Edgy Eft or Feisty Fawn

Yes, kernel tells that this is invalid boot option, but as you may know unrecognized options are passed through the chain..
According documentation on the install disk ( /media/cdrom0/doc/install/manual/en/ch05s02.html )

Section "5.2.1.3. Blacklisting kernel modules", you can read:

"You can blacklist a module using the following syntax:
module_name.blacklist=yes. This will cause the module to be blacklisted
in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local both during the installation and for
the installed system.

Note that a module may still be loaded by the installation system
itself. You can prevent that from happening by running the installation
in expert mode and unselecting the module from the list of modules
displayed during the hardware detection phases."

So, if I add on the boot line:

ata_piix.blacklist=yes

and after boot I quit text mode installer and type:

lsmod |grep ata_piix

I don't see this module loaded which confirms that module is
blacklisted. I can try to dig more, but currently at least I have
working Kubuntu after all this.
