Anco: the rules I added to /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/10 -ide-drives.fdi were those that were removed by an earlier patch found in http://launchpadlibrarian.net/5907427/hal-fix-remove_blacklisted_HL- DT-STCD-RW.txt
Apply the reverse of that patch, or if you don't know "patch" simply add the lines starting with '-' (without the '-' of course - and use the lines before and after the patched section to find the right spot in the file). Then restart "hald" (or reboot) to activate the change. //per -- hald blocks ide bus if cdrom on same bus with harddisk(was:Extremly slow IO performance with dapper, high wa% on Dell Inspiron 8200) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48499 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
