Bug Description

I can't boot live CD/DVD and installed system without pci=nomsi. Booting stops with initramfs prompt.
Using live DVD witch pci=nomsi boot parameter all seems to be good, but during partitioning installer can't see any partitions on my SATA hard disk, so I can't install Kubuntu on this disk.

My hardware:
Motherboard: Abit AN52 (with MCP65 chipset)
Memory: 2x1 GB
HD: Samsung HD501LJ (500GB) on SATA cable
DVDRW: Samsung SH-S203N on SATA cable
HD 80GB PATA (IDE)

Files (dmesg, etc.) are from Kubuntu live CD alpha4 hardy.
It's my first own bug report and I can't write well in english. I hope all is clear.

I also attach new dmesg from stable Kubuntu hardy live DVD.

Hi Jarek,

Just curious if this is still and issue with the most recent Hardy kernel updates (2.6.24-19 at the moment). I'm also curious if you would be willing to confirm this is still an issue with the latest Alpha for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10. You should be able to test via a LiveCD - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing. Please let us know your results. Thanks.

Forgot about this bug. I tested Intrepid Ibex since alpha 1 and problem dissapear after alpha 2.
I think the problem was resolved by this path:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.26.y.git;a=commit;h=e297d99e103f951a71fcb1534f1ff3480dd3a851
In 2.6.26 rc7 time (ubuntu kernel 2.6.26-3.7 as far as I can remember). I didn't tested 2.6.24-19.
Should I close this bug report?
