Public bug reported: Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 5 i386 (2.6.27-2)
Kernel 2.6.27 (8.10) seems to honor the host protected area (HPA) of harddisks whereas 2.6.24 (8.04) ignored it. 2.6.24 dmesg: ata1.00: HPA unlocked: 268435455 -> 312581808, native 312581808 2.6.27 dmesg: ata1.00: HPA detected: current 268435455, native 312581808 That currently prevents me from installing Ubuntu 8.10. See this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/267199 Is there a way to load the LiveCD libata module with ignore_hpa set to 1? Shouldn't this change be documented in the Alpha (and possible final) release notes? ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- HPA no longer ignored in 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270151 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
