Same issue here. Unbelievable that the Ubuntu team would push out Hardy before fixing this kind of issue. What a nightmare for an average user!

The old kernel (2.6.22) worked fine. After turning off the "quiet" and "splash" kernel options, the 2.6.24 kernel produces error messages like:
    ata3: failed to IDENTIFY
    ata3: failed to recover some devices
After maybe 5 minutes, it drops me to a busybox shell. The "pci=nomsi" fix works for me. I have no idea what this means. What are the side effects of using this option?

* lspci-vvnn output attached.
* I'm running RAID 5 with three SATA WD 500GB hard drives.

If i was on the Ubuntu team, I'd be telling them to stop pushing the Distribution Upgrades until this issue is fixed. This is amazingly bad.
