unixnewbie: SATA disks appear with the /dev/s??? syntax because it was convinient to reuse some of the same SCSI machinery to present an interface to the disk to programs (see http://kerneltrap.org/node/5549 for details). It's not really emulation rather it's just naming. Rumour has it in a

I think klmonz in the appended bug-description at the top, hits the nail on the head. Reading through the extensive thread in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=456662, it seems obvious, that Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=419458 describes the core problem with

I believe that Debian bug is not this issue. There is no cycling of which driver is loaded in 2.6.20-16-generic with an ICH5 (it's always piix), so this is not that issue. -- SATA disk is in PATA mode with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (piix claiming SATA controller on ICH4/ICH5 boards)

Sitsofe. I believe that is incorrect. If you read (the 40 pages) in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=456662 a lot of the descriptions matches the Debian bug, also for ICH5. I'm fairly certain that it is at the heart of the problem. -- SATA disk is in PATA mode with kernel

Cycling between piix and ata_piix should not be happening. Previously, in 2.6.20-15.27 ata_piix was used, in 2.6.20-16.28 piix should alwayds be being used. It is this driver which is causing problems for some hardware. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) =
