https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111151 --- Comment #9 from Andreas E <andi3@xxxxxxx> --- SUCCESS !!! Linux my-lubuntubox 4.4.0-040400-generic #201601101930 SMP Mon Jan 11 00:49:33 UTC 2016 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux That was it. Kernel 4.4.0 ONLY. -—--—--—--—--—--—--—--—--—-- All 4.2.0 to 4.3.4 = FAILED. -—--—--—--—--—--—--—--—--—-- 4.4.0 = WORKS. (there was nothing between 4.3.5 and 4.3.9 in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ AFAICS) This is the first time I can write a post after having successfully booted off my _onboard_ SATA port. So it does seem to be a kernel/module fault, and - for once - no user's hardware fault. Remember, ancient Linux versions worked as well as non-Linux OSes (DOS). Case closed (for me). If you'd want anything else to know from me about this issue, feel free to ask.:-) Thanks for your time, Alan. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
