Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

A patch has been released by Tejun Heo of the Linux Kernel development
team for kernel bug 8784. This bug prevents the ata_piix module from
properly recognizing ATA drives on some systems. On Ubuntu, this can
cause a failure during the live and alternate install cd boot, or a boot
failure on an installed system that is upgraded to a kernel using
ata_piix instead of ide_piix. Unfortunately, the path will not be
integrated into the kernel until 2.6.23. This issue affects many Ubuntu
users who use intel motherboards and ATA or SATA disk drives. I have
personally tested the patch against linux-source-2.6.22.
