Ar2ro: Since edgy, ubuntu is now using libata in place of drivers/ide etc, this means the handling of ide drives has changed very significantly. Handling of hdds and cds/dvds has become more integrated. Please check out bug 103410 which may be more what you are experiencing and for some kernel related xfermode error see http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03088.html Cant help on the udev stuff unfortunately. -- boot - /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96084 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
