Bug Description

Having just download Intrepid Alpha 2 AMD64 Alternate Install CD it has problems detecting my DVD drive. I have similar problems on several other Linux Distributions, not Ubuntu 8.04 though.

Details:

-Chipset : Marvell 88SE6111 on a Asus P5K SE motherboard
-DVD-Rom drive is a Samsung PATA drive.

Through searching on various forums I believe the problem I also see on other distributions is related to the fact I use a PATA drive. On i.e. Debian the same chipset would work if I had a SATA drive instead. But that said, I should note again that it works perfectly fine on the Ubuntu 8.04 Final Live-CD.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Are you still seeing this with the daily cds from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com? Does the live cd work? If you are still having problems, do you have a USB thumb drive that you could capture the information described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection on to? The information at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper should assist you in figuring out how to mount the usb stick, though the casper logfile won't be present. You may need to press Alt-F2 to get to another console.
