Ditto for me.  I've tried every Feisty Herd on my MSI C2D mobo with no
success.  Never manages to handle the JMicron-controlled PATA CD
drive.  I realize there are plenty of workarounds but I'm not that
motivated to get into it because I can run feisty just fine on my Core
Duo laptop.

However, this would be very nasty if feisty is released with this
problem.  It's a showstopper for non-power users with these newer
machines.  (although i suppose eventually this hybrid Pata/Sata config
will no doubt disappear...)
