have the same problem here. i have an acer travelmate 2413 laptop, with a PATA harddisk which is recognized for some reason as a SCSI device.
it had become extremely slow to boot up and seems to be slow when doing anything related to the harddisk. dmesg shows some errors. attaches some info. oh, and kernel 2.6.20-13-generic is installed. ** Attachment added: "dmesg+lspci logs." http://librarian.launchpad.net/7095303/logfiles.tar.gz -- Extremely Slow boot up PATA disk detected as sda https://launchpad.net/bugs/94981 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
