This seems to be something specific to ICH4. 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?
Thanks.
