[CoLoCo] Trouble with Hardy in Qemu

[Ringo Kamens]

Here's a solution I found with a little more in-depth googling. This
*does* work for Fluxbuntu, which uses the same installer as Ubuntu so
I'm just going to take a leap and say it will cross over.


In the boot menu
1. Push F6 ( Other Options)
2. remove: "quiet --"
3. add: "ata_piix.blacklist=yes"
4. Push Enter
