Marking bug as invalid since not ignoring the HPA may actually be the
smarter choice.
I finally got rid of my HPA using the procedure described in bug
#267199.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete = Invalid

HPA no longer ignored in 8.10
I noticed this as well and am trying to figure out if this was an
accident or if it was done on purpose. I had marked bug #219393 as
WONTFIX because I was told that Ubuntu specifically diverged from
upstream on this behavior by initializing ignore_hpa to 1 in libata-
core.c. I was told that this
I intended to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my notebook.
The installation cannot proceed if the LiveCD honors the HPA because
parted (called by the installer) sees partitions that extend beyond the
end of the device. These partition were created under 8.04.
So I tried using break=modules on the kernel
