Interesting. Then again, it's a fresh install so it also wouldn't have
any issue with whatever may have been modified in your Feisty system. I
wonder if a fresh Gutsy install would have done the same.

Is the the bug that you used to change your
piix
ide_generic
ide_cd
ide_disk
etc?

You might have a scan through:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.searchtext=busybox&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=all&field.scope.target=>
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.searchtext=initramfs&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=all&field.scope.target=>

to see if you can spot something in there that relates.

I also see that your bug is getting a response:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/212042>
So that's some progress :-)

BTW: you can scan the entire bug system by going first to:

Anyway, I'm _very_ glad you got it working again! :-)
