I just tried the 2006-10-12 daily alternate CD image. Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi-AP w/addons: Promise PATA PCI Sil SATA PCIE4x Hard Drives at ICH8-SATA1, ICH8-SATA4, Sil-SATA1 and Sil-SATA2 DVD-Rs at Promise-Primary, Master and Slave
No joy. The JMicron is recognized, the ICH8 is not. Since I have purchased a Promise PATA controller to work around the JMicron thing, and still have CDROM access from Dapper, it sure would be swell if the driver could enable the JMicron controller AND the ICH8 controller. I see in the 2.6.18 source where the JMicron is enabled (only works if AHCI mode is set in BIOS). It shouldn't be too hard to fix this. The Edgy Daily alternate sees no hard drives but the first Sil SATA (? Where's the second one ?). I abandoned the JMicron controller because it SUCKS. You can't set the access mode, so you get Error 21 out of grub (LBA default bios access mode and no way to turn it off in the bios settings). I'd be happy with the 'broken' Dapper driver at this point. I have the JMicron controller turned off in BIOS but Edgy still sees it somehow. -- ICH8 doesn't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/63516 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
