I'm posting back to say thanks again, because Ubuntu has been working fine since the patch released by Ben Collins above.
I have a question though... was this problem specific to Ubuntu, or relevant all operating systems using the 2.6.20 kernel? Because I've tried to set my system up to dual boot with a couple other distributions recently, and none of them have worked. If this problem effects the linux kernel as a whole, has this patch been submitted upstream so other distributions will soon benefit from it as well? I ask because I tried Sidux, Sayabon, and Arch. With Sidux, the live cd would boot fine, and installation would seem to go fine, but then after reboot, the OS would not boot. Sayabon's live cd would boot fine as well, but the partitioner would choke before I even got to installation. Arch (not a live cd) wouldn't even seem to access my hdd. So will I need to pursue bug fixes on each of these distributions individually, or do I just need to wait now for them to update their kernels to a version including the above patch? Thanks, and sorry if this is the wrong place for this kind of question. -- pata driver in libata is thwarted by HPA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82314 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
