This bug is still current on some systems, I just updated to the following kernel on two feisty systems, and one works, and one still does not.
Linux storage2 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Fri Feb 1 02:59:08 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux The 'storage2' machine is using an nforce3 chipset as follows: 00:0a.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK8S Serial ATA Controller (v2.5) (rev a2) The other system with the 'server' kernel seems to work (different sata controller also): Linux blacktower 2.6.20-16-server #2 SMP Fri Feb 1 03:10:48 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux The 'blacktower' is running an nforce2 chipset with the following sata PCI card: 01:08.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20518/PDC40518 (SATAII 150 TX4) (rev 02) Either the generic kernel does not seem to work with smart still, or its chipset related.. I will try installing the server kernel on the storage2 machine and try to get back to this thread.. but for now, either the generic kernel is still a problem, or there is a chipset related problem. -- smartmontools/smartctl does not work on SATA drives on Linux Kernel 2.6.20-15.27 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106821 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
