Sorry to burst your bubble, but this just doesn't make any sense at all.
I had this dreaded problem, and after successfully installing 2.2 on
a different machine, I swapped the drive and controller back to the
original machine, where now 2.2 is running without ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL.
ZERO. ZILCH.
If the _real_ problem is anything like what you describe, then it shouldn't
run at all on that machine, no?
