Hey Emil I just removed the jumper from my harddisk, and guess what: kernel-15 loaded like it should! Even more: grub did not take 30+seconds for stage1.5 (it took ages to get into the bootmenu ever since I had the sata disk in.. a friend said it's crappy hardware, nothing you can do.. but removing the jumper helped).. Perhaps that's the reason too that the openSUSE installer would not see my pata disk either.. just my sata disk..
anyways It just booted up fine :D:D not sure if you'll still need the dmesg, but I ran one for you just after reboot. Thanks again for your help :D ** Attachment added: "dmesg-15.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13309233/dmesg-15.log -- Update from 2.6.24-12 to -14 or -15 results in ata SRST failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213308 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
