One note that I find interesting to add. My disks are PATA. With the Gutsy kernel, I had the correct performance - they were recognized ad hda and hdb.
Now, with Hardy, they are recognized as sda and sdb. This could mean that the problem lie into the libata kernel part (IMHO). Furthermore, in dmesg I have the same output as presented by jap1968: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable -- Wrong UDMA mode due to error in 40/80 wire cable detection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195221 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
