Greetings & Happy New Year! I believe I've come across one of two things: a) a regression in pata_pdc202xx_old b) a clueless end user wrt the list :-) The short version: running Ubuntu's Jaunty release (2.6.28-17-generic #58-Ubuntu i686) I can cleanly access the disks hanging off of an onboard Promise 20265; attempting to upgrade to Ubuntu Karmic (presumptively 2.6.31.16.29) has numerious problems reading these same drives, including: e2label: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda1 Couldn't find a valid filesystem superblock. I've documented as much as I can think of that's relevant here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/489685 I'm willing to run tests + update the bug with further information ... if I knew what would be useful. It might even be solved upstream from the release Karmic's using?
