Re: Initial RAMDISK problem when boot

It's referring to your disk interface 'ata2.00'.
You should look through the rest of dmesg to see which drive ata2 is ... somthing like these ....
[ 1.399444] ata1.00: ATA-8: WDC WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0, 05.01D05, max UDMA/133
[ 1.438788] ata7.00: ATA-7: ST3320620AS, 3.AAE, max UDMA/133

Something in the driver or in the BIOS/ACPI isn't happy together.

You might try putting "acpi=off" in the grub config file ,and reboot.

You might also go through the BIOS and see how to diddle AHCI/IDE mode for the interface with ata2.
