I don't know why LBA48 would be deprecated. How else should one access data beyond 128 GiB using BIOS facilities (a common boot loader requirement)?
The easiest way to detect this is likely to attempt to read data from either side of the 128 GiB boundary. If both succeed, try bisecting through the disk until you find something that doesn't correspond to what the OS sees, and then work out what that boundary might correspond to. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741799 Title: OS fails to boot certain SATA drives in AHCI mode. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
