Comment 105 for bug 290153

Back on topic - I just got Ubuntu 8.10 to boot on the liveCD - I had to add the option all_generic_ide to the kernel line . This of course allowed me to boot the liveCD but I don't see this as being an option for a regular install since its going to really degrade performance.. But perhaps this can help get to the bottom of the issue? Let me know if I need to test anything else! Thanks!
