That seems unlikely, I think it's probably a different bug with the same 
symptom.

I believe Tuukka's problem could be due to the fact he is using an ASUS 
motherboard with two SATA discs:

It would be really helpful if Tuukka could test the master iso and 
confirm if it now works with kernel 2.6.21.

Cheers!
