Hello.
You asked for this information:
"Known affected devices
This list is far from complete. If you have a hardware affected by this
problem, please write to linux-ide and attach the outputs of
"dmidecode", "hdparm -I /dev/[hs]dX" and "smartctl -a /dev/[hs]dX" where
dev/[hs]dX is the affected drive."
I use a Dell Inspirion 1300 with a WD IDE 2,5" Notebook-HDD. My OS is
Ubuntu 8.04. Before I used Ubuntu 7.10 and was not affected by this bug.
Hope, this helps a little bit.
See ya, Maic.
