I'm getting similare "failed to set xfermode" errors with a CDROM under 2.6.22 (ubuntu 7.10) which works fine with 2.6.20 (7.04)

Naturally the 'irqpoll' fix doesn't help because it's finding the controller and drive and just failing to configure it. -- Won't find my 2nd HD, "Failed to set xfermode" ATA errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153096 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
