(Get the code!)
I truly hope there's less people affected by these libata issues than it seems, or 7.10 will be a fiasco :-(
I'm "kind of lucky" that I only started to have problems in 2.6.22, in Feisty devel, and problem is not exactly this, but a probably less annoying one (that I can't find anymore on launchpad :-$ ) that freezes during boot for 2 minutes.
I've been following these issues on launchpad and lkml and it seems to be a big deal.
Granted, 2.6.23 works beautifully for me; I don't know whether it was the several SiS 5513 fixes that went in, the (previously unimplemented in libata) cable (speed) detection, whether my LG 4480B combo drive was blacklisted or whether updating the firmware helped the new kernel. All I know is that 30s still seems way to long even if we were talking SCSI devices and trying 3 times before dropping to ATA33 (still) seems pointless to me. But who am I to tell :-/
It is also unfortunate that Ubuntu removed (most of?) the old IDE modules/drivers, thus impeding the option to simply blacklist the (corresponding) libata driver...
