I think klmonz in the appended bug-description at the top, hits the nail on the head.
Reading through the extensive thread in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=456662, it seems obvious, that Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=419458 describes the core problem with disks, which is the same as *this* bug. This is FIXED in Debian! I'm sorry, but I have to say that I find it disheartening, that bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.20/+bug/116996 is still unconfirmed+undecided, bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.20/+bug/117447 is unconfirmed+undecided, and bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.20/+bug/117314 is unconfirmed, though recognized as status high. Please devs! You are probably overburdened, that's understood. BUT.... this bug is wrecking the systems of a hell of a lot of users, and if far worse than the X-oops update you released some time ago. This one is GRAVE, as the Debian bug correctly states. Please please... fix this. Thank you. -- SATA disk is in PATA mode with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (piix claiming SATA controller on ICH4/ICH5 boards) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
