We have a series of machines that use CF as a boot media. Since upgrading to
2.6.20 (tried .9-.14), system will boot (from the flash media) but then fail
to initialise the same media. Here is the dmesg from 2.6.20.14:
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.2: version 2.00ac7

At this point the CF is inoperable. I've had no issue prior to 2.6.20. Is
this a known issue? Is there a fix?
