There is no way to detect how the bios sees the disks, and the bios may not see some disks at all. I think the fix for this is to have the installer notify the user that it is making its best guess as to how the bios sees the disks, but it may be wrong and if so, they will need to correct it. The

I'm curious if this bug is the same as what I see on my Abit AN8-32X system. I have 6 SATA drives (4 on an Nvidia chip, and 2 on Sil 3132 chip), 2 IDE drives (each a master on its own channel), and 2 USB "drives", which are a SD and CF card reader. In Dapper, Edgy, and Fiesty, I see the set of 2

Why not build with CONFIG_EDD=m, and set the default Linux command line to 'edd=skipmbr'? That way we don't have the takes-forever disk checks of bug 8899, but we will still be able to get the geometry information correctly for GRUB et. al.? And if someone *really* needs the MBR checks, they can
