Public bug reported:

Hi everyone!
I have an ACER Aspire 9410. This computer has an ATA DD (i'm sure i've 
disassembled it) but when i try to install Ubuntu (any version even gusty TRIBE 
X) it is recognised as an SCSI sda... The install works fine and everything 
works fine after the install but when i shut down the computer the DD makes a 
very strange noise but not under windows. I've tried to force the use of the 
ide_generic driver but in this case DMA is absent and impossible to activate 
(hdparm -d1 /dev/hda) . I've search for an explanation and it appaers to be a 
bug in ata_piix something like an error during hardware probe.

This is my lspci:

Note that the use of ide_generic under debian lenny (not etch) doesn't affect 
DMA, but i'd really like to use Ubuntu

Thanks in advance for your help!
