Maybe some recent changes broke it. ICH4 not being too common these days, it might have passed through the upstream testing. Or maybe it's the spurious IRQ handling code added for SL111. Many ATA problems appear during probing, once things pass probing and initial scanning for partition (or identification by sr for cdroms), it's generally okay unless it suffers transmission errors during high volume transfers. In the logs you posted, it seems that, aside the spurious IRQ warnings (usually safe to ignore), everything went as expected, so it's a bit puzzling what could have gone wrong here. Also, as far as the kernel and libata drivers are concerned the DVD, gnome or kde live CDs don't make much difference, so that's another thing which seems weird. So, the first thing to do is to find out what went wrong. As soon as the installation media (DVD or whatever) starts to load drivers (starting udev....), press alt-f4, that's where the kernel will spit out its messages. As the boot system continues to load, you'll be able to see drivers being loaded and probing for devices. Once all the drivers are loaded, the installation system tries to locate the rest of the installation system from the installation media. If this is where things are failing, the kernel will probably spit out IO errors or whine other stuff there. Can you please report what goes on there?
