Comment 86 for bug 228302

Conn, thanks for the tip. It works fine for me.

Unfortunately I don't know how to assign different drivers for different ATA ports :( I've been poking around but haven't found anything useful. I was also trying to disable pata_ali when compiled in (along with ata_generic) - to no avail :(

Regarding Karmic. Is there any chance that these module arrangements (ata_generic compiled in, pata_ali as a module) could be backported to Karmic?
