Hi Sir George, The via82cxxx driver is indeed disabled in Hardy:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ubuntu-hardy/debian/config$ grep -rn "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX" * amd64/config:297:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is not set hppa/config:137:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is not set i386/config:118:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is not set ia64/config:234:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is not set powerpc/config:239:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is not set sparc/config:171:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is not set You can see the changelog note for when/why it was changed: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux " * config: Disable IDE VIA driver in favor of PATA version - LP: #181561" I know this doesn't really help with the issue you are seeing but it provides some explanation. I unfortunatly am going to have to guess that the 15 partition limit will not likely change unless it comes from upstream. I'll reassign to the kernel team though for their feedback. Thanks. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Kernel Team (ubuntu-kernel-team) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- The change from native ide_disk to scsi-emulation (pata_*) in the latest kernel prohibits access to more than 15 partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253221 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
