It turns out that the patch does not work after all. The drive that I used that was known to be bad in some machines was actually working in AHCI mode all along, patch or no patch.
So, I took another disk that had issues and tried it out with the grub patch. This time, I did not get any improvement in behaivor. When booting in AHCI mode, the system drops me to the 'grub rescue' prompt as before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741799 Title: OS fails to boot certain SATA drives in AHCI mode. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
