Comment 80 for bug 220706

I've run a few more tests on my system with no luck in terms of being able to install 9.04. I disconnected my ATA DVD from the motherboard and replaced with an IDE DVD. Under this configuration none of the ATA inputs were being used on the motherboard. When I attempted to install 9.04 in aborted right away with error: "Aborted because crc error. Kernel panic - not syncing". This is a different error than the "ata: SRST failed" that I was always getting after upgrade/install of 8.10 so I'm not sure now if this is the same problem manifesting itself on a fresh install, or whether I have multiple issues. The other action I tried was to upgrade my bios to the latest version as I suspect it may be something related to my motherboard (EVGA nForce 680i LT SLI). This upgrade, however, had no affect. All I know for sure is that my system configuration works on 8.04, but not on 8.10 and 9.04. I guess something has become incompatible between my hardware and the more recent kernels.
