I'm very hesitant to make any changes to the system because I dual boot (Windows and Mepis) and the last thing I need is more problems (I practice the time honored concept of 1 step forward, 2 backwards). Since some other livecd's do work, it seems to me that we should be looking at Debian to see if this ata2 thing is really necessary and if there are boot modes that will take care of the problem.
