Unfortunately, it's the BIOS that does this. The kernel cannot boot by |

itself by some magical means. The BIOS must boot it. |

Your hard drives are SATA as well (on the same controller) and only the |
| 20 |
CD drive can't be found? That's strange. I suggest opening a bug about it. |

If your hard drives aren't SATA or aren't on the same controller as the |
| 23 |
CD drive, try to load the kernel module for your controller. Google is |
| 24 |
your friend here (to find out which kernel module to try for your chipset.) |
