Public bug reported: I updated Ubuntu from feisty to gutsy (kernel 2.6.20 -> 2.6.22) on my Dell Precision 360 computer.
The new kernel's initrd does not load the required ata_piix module for the first IDE hard drive. It drops into a shell complaining about a missing root filesystem. I am able to modprobe ata_piix within this shell and all IDE drives are recognized. I have put ata_piix into /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and ran update- initramfs for this kernel. The line containing ata_piix is in /conf/modules of the initrd but still the module does not get loaded. There's also an additional Promise IDE controller in this box where the module (pata_pdc2027x) gets loaded.
