I followed the instructions in post #85, made backups of the 2 files before I modified them for easy reversal if needed... Here's what I did...
1. Add "blacklist pata_ali" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist 2. Run "sudo update-initramfs -u" 3. Add "ata_generic.all_generic_ide=1" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line in /etc/default/grub 4. Run "sudo update-grub" 5. Reboot (preferably using the recovery option so that you can see the verbose boot information). I booted into recovery mode...then when a MS-DOS style windows with ANSI came up, I selected the first option, to continue booting normally. I did not notice any errors...but then again, I couldnt scroll the display to backtrace...but everything seemed fine...albeit with no GUI...so I shutdown and restarted this time NOT using recovery mode...and I am in Ubuntu Karmic now...everything appears to be the same, unchanged, no difference... First thing I did is to see if my drives are /dev/sdX or /dev/hdX, and they are still /dev/sdX...so did a canada_...@home:~$ sudo hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: No such file or directory canada_...@home:~$ sudo hdparm /dev/sda /dev/sda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 0 (default) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 48641/255/63, sectors = 781422768, start = 0 l...@home:~$ sudo hdparm -c1 /dev/sda /dev/sda: setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 1 HDIO_SET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument IO_support = 0 (default) So, is there anything I need to do to make my system change the drives from /dev/sdX to /dev/hdX? Also, right this second, which is being used right this second? ata_generic or pata_ali? How can I verify which is in use right now? Also, if any updates happen, with they wipe out this change I am trying to make? And will I have to do this change everytime a certain thing gets updated? I dont know if this matters, but I am using Prelink and Preload. Anyone have any suggestions?
