Andrew: Your argument is correct, though I read comment 44, I didn't take it too serious, I have to admit. And I didn't take too much care (if any) about bug #117314 since it describes the same situation.
In a previous comment I complained about too little verbosity of ubuntu kernel devs; apparently, they gave a comment in #117314 (Philip Lougher). I can understand that kernel devs are too busy to comment every bug record, but I did expect they would comment on the first report filed on a particular bug, and not onto a later one (which I do regard as being at least interesting); Anyway, that's the story why I didn't get the information that switching from ata_piix to piix was done intentionally. However, I asked about this expicitly in comment 32 and again in comment 65 of my own report (#116996), but nobody answered. I will correct my bug description and add a link to 117314 in the description, but only later since I have no time at the moment. thank you for bringing me up to date :) -- SATA disk is in PATA mode with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (piix claiming SATA controller on ICH4/ICH5 Intel chipsets) 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
