This is very likely a duplicate of bug 459316, which I just opened with a similar issue. I probably found the reason:
It happens when you have fast devices (UDMA-66 or later) and an IDE cable only supporting UDMA-33 reliably (40 pin instead of 80 pin). Linux seems to configure the devices for UDMA-66 or later (in my case even UDMA-100), and this causes transmission errors with the old cables. Linux should however only configure the devices for UDMA-33 max with a 40 pin cable. -- IO errors when inserting a disc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304954 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
