Description haras 2007-10-03 16:12:47 UTC 
fail to get cd rom device, i found solution for ubuntu <= 6.10, add generic.all_generic_ide=1 to booting kernel option in liveCD, 7.04 do not need that at all
I do not have any IDE devices in my PC, only sata2

Try booting with 'doscsi'.

No.  The problem is the kernel is too old.  This will obviously happen with newer hardware being released.  Since the fix is already in the kernel, and a upstream kernel option, there's nothing for us to do.  We cannot fix the old media, and the new media will have a newer kernel, completely negating this bug.  As such, I'm marking this as RESOLVED-UPSTREAM, since the kernel.org guys already fixed this, and adding the option reported by the bug poster works around the issue.
