Hi,

It works!

I just installed 2.6.27-10 from intrepid-proposed (many other changes were included in the update, BTW, all from standard ubuntu channels), rebooted and voilá! No busybox, no exit into initramfs shell ... everything works as expected.

This is all on a Dell Optiplex 740n (AMD64 Athlon X2) running Ubuntu x86.

Attached are some diagnostics:
 lspci -vv (lspci.vv.2.6.27-10.txt)
 dmesg (dmesg.2.6.27-10.txt)
 uname -a (uname.2.6.27-10.txt)
 hdparm -tT (hdparm.2.6.27-10.txt, hdparm.2.6.24-21.txt)

The output of hdparm shows that cached reads seem a little bit faster on the 2.6.24-21 kernel. But otherwise disk performance seems to be equal (buffered reads).

Thanks!
