Hi, I'm trying to boot from the new 2008 beta1 amd64 livecd. The problem is in module loading phase. It hangs after displaying "Scannig for ahci...". It boots fine if i disable the ahci module from grub (noload=ahci) but then hard drives and cdrom is not found. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from 2008 beta1 abd64 live cd. 2. 3.

Strange. Your motherboard doesn't even *use* the ahci driver. Is your optical drive connected via SATA or IDE?

OK, I've changed the summary to reflect the new information. 2008.0 Beta 2 will be out in the next few days. We updated the kernel on it, so this might be resolved already. Can you please test it when it comes out and let us know if it resolves this bug for you?
This should be fixed in 2008.0, which is now released.

2008 release works for me. Thanks!
