23 Can someone out there file a bug report against the release media (all
24 flavors) and request for us to enable the "libata PATA support" in the
25 kernel? We'll still default to the "old" PATA stuff, but with this, we
26 should be able to get support for the missing chipsets, too.

28 I'l definitely want feedback from those of you with newer boards when
29 the beta is released so we know it's working.
