Let's not jump to that conclusion quite yet. There are several "bugs" that
can cause this behavior, including use of an IDE-RAID controller, or having
an Apollo Pro Chipset with a WD205AA which causes disk geometry
misrecognition. Plus we are dealing with two different kernels which locate
the drives in different ways. Let him try again with the next beta, we think
it will be very different results, and he should not need the noautotunes.
