Comment 95 for bug 106864

Running on a abit IP35 with PATA dvd drive and Samsung hd501lj SATA hard drive on SATA port 2 I need the workaround irqpoll for the live CD. I loaded a new 7.10 32bit install with the alternate cd which partitioned and populated ok but produces this issue on cold boot. Ctrl D allows the system to come up. Otherwise eventual busybox and initramfs shell EVERY time. The Ubuntu rescue stuff fails on can't find disk. I made no changes to the BIOS it is already set at IDE for SATA.

Are there any "knock on" effects from using Ctrl D?
