IDE-SATA bridge with SPIF223A doesn't work

[Jorg K]

I have an IDE-CD-RW (HL-DT-ST GCE-8526B) connected to a SATA-only motherboard using a DeLock IDE SATA 61719 adapter. This adapter uses the Sunplus IT, SATALink, SPIF223A-HL022 chipset. This works semi-well on Windows.

My machine has an AMD A10-5700 APU and the boot disk is an SSD, so one would decent performance.

Under Ubuntu (Mint), the machine is really very slow. I pinned it down to this adapter, once removed, the machine works well.

In the attached report (I hope it's attached, I used "ubuntu-bug linux" and took a look at the report) you can see the problem looking for "ata7".

OK, look for "ata7" in the attached BootDmesg.txt and CurrentDmesg.txt.
