I haven't tested it, but would this be related? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/30055 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9491
"ata_piix when attached to ICH6M in AHCI mode doesn't provide any benefit over using ahci and has detection problems. Don't let ata_piix claim ICH6M if it's in AHCI mode. This change makes ICH6R the only one which ata_piix can attach to even when it's in ahci mode which is necessary as some devices don't work properly under ahci mode. Drop PIIX_FLAG_AHCI and match the controller directly so that piix_disable_ahci() is called only for it. This change makes PIIX_SCC no longer used and it gets dropped too. This fixes bz 9491." -- ata probing delays booting by 1/2 minute https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
