I only filed the bug yesterday. I'm sure they have more urgent problems, so I don't expect fast progress on this.
I'm just going to try to offload everything from the IDE to an external drive, then repartition it using 8.0.4. I really want to get this resolved. Lemmy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Same problem here using 8.04 final on 32 Bit AMD Athlon XP 2000. At the moment I can't use Hardy Heron at all :-( -- unable to read IDE partition table under 8.0.4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221677 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a 250G SATA and a 320G IDE drive. I use the SATA for root, /boot, and /home. I use the IDE for backups and transient data. Under a fresh 8.04 install (release candidate around April 19-20), I get "unable to read partition table" errors... it treats my WD320 IDE drive as a SATA (expected behaviour, I hear). /dev/sda is visible, but /dev/sda[1234] are not (under the older releases, these were /dev/hda[1234]). Next, I re-install 7.10, no problem, works fine under 7.10 Next, I re-install 6.06, no problem, works fine under 6.06 Next, I re-install 8.0.4, install all the latest updates, still unable to read partition table. So, this is a new problem under 8.0.4. I can still detect and read every partition of the IDE drive if I use the older releases, but I can't use the IDE drive under 8.0.4. This means that this isn't a hardware error. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or should I wait it out for a few days hoping for a fix to be released, or should I revert to 7.10 and wait for 8.0.5? For the long term, I need both drives. Any info or suggestions? Thanks. ==================================================================================== Below, I've pasted some info out of /var/log/messages and dmesg.
