Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
As the summary says: I am unable to boot the Feisty Live CD (I did not
actually install it, just tried it out) on my AMD64/ASUS K8N4-E system
without the pci=nommconf kernel parameter. Sorry to be reporting this
again (I have already done so against Dapper and Edgy). I believe from
research on Google that this affects a number of 64bit BIOSes.
I am actually interested to know whether there is a good reason for
enabling mmconfig by default in the kernel .config at all? If there is,
perhaps you could do something like disabling it on the Live CD and
checking for known bad BIOSes during installation, so that you can add
that parameter to the grub command line for those systems.
** Affects: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu)
