klmonz :
My laptop has a distinct lack of Sata drives .
My point was the Great rename bug is the same for my Pata controler...
under kernel 15 my IDE was controlled via ata_piix and therefore /dev/sdxx
under kernel 16 my IDE is controlled via piix and therefore /dev/hdxx
Yet Sitsofe who also tested a ICH6 chipset MB didn't get drive renaming..so I assume his modules.pcimap output would still show ata_piix assigned for his chipset id.
I agree that for me its not such an issue my Pata drive is still working fine yet for Ubuntu's supposed target audience .. their screwed.
my response was to the original title of your bug '(ata_piix disabled for ich4/5), where we had some discussion whether ICH6 variants were also afflicted.
I don't want to be in the situation where everyone is switched back except me ;-)
