I have just upgraded to 8.10 beta and can report that this bug still exists. I also tried the .deb package named libata-80wire (from http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17612513/libata- 80wire_2.6.24-19.41_i386.deb) but up to now it's only available for kernel 2.6.24-19. It correctly sets my sda to UDMA/100, but my sound stops working (because I tested that kernel on Ibex - AFAIK that kernel is for Hardy).
Could anybody make that package for 8.10 please, without it my laptop works at a snail's pace - even slower that Windows. When I', on 2.6.24 (patched) it works great, but I want everything else to work too... My Laptop: NEC Versa E400.

Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “linux” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux-source-2.6.22” source package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I have an Asus Eee PC 4GB laptop, and I am testing Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 (kernel 2.6.24-8) on it. The computer has a 4GB SSD soldered to the motherboard. The disk is reported as UDMA66 capable, but is installed as UDMA33 because the system does not detect a 80 pin conductor. I have tried adding kernel parameters (ide0=ata66 ide1=ata66) but these seems to be ignored. I have read that these parameters are just to instruct the kernel not to do the 40/80 wire test. I have written a blog entry [http://ospatia.blogspot.com/2008/02/eee-pc-optimizar-el-disco-ssd.html] (in Spanish) with additional information (dmesg output, some tests with hdparm, ...) and I have found additioal people having same problem with fast (300x) Compact Flash cards. dmesg output extract: [ 26.700245] ata2.00: ATA-4: SILICONMOTION SM223AC, , max UDMA/66 [ 26.700256] ata2.00: 7815024 sectors, multi 0: LBA [ 26.700297] ata2.00: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable [ 26.716208] ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eeepc Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eeepc More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
