Oops - I really should research before posting - I just checked the actual spec (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/libata-for-all- ata-disks) and discovered that the implementation has been deferred:
"Implementation Status: Deferred. There is no chance that this feature will actually be delivered in the targeted release. The specification has effectively been deferred to a later date of implementation." So it doesn't look like it's the libata-pata drivers... -- Edgy Install from Desktop CD - Wrong HD Type https://launchpad.net/bugs/58601 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
