Comment 59 for bug 117314

I can see your between a rock and a hard place ,

ICH6 appears to function correctly under either libata or PATA, Hence the lack of bug reports (besides me) for this chipset.

I don't think it matters which way you go with this for this chipset as I appear to be the only ICH6 person who noticed the drive renaming and I'm not the screaming kind.

2 others noted the ghost cdrom for the fstab entries but dont think that'd cause much fuss if you reverted back to libata.

What would be cool is actually knowing because if I'm staying PATA I'll get hdparm out and ramp up my HD performance.

Also there appears a number of issues using UUID for swap , I came across it a while ago UUID altering on swap over time.
I also see a number of reports in the forums of people stating their swap changes UUID between boots.

Could it be the some hibernate methods clear the swap (ala mkswap) thus generating new UUID's and leading to the resume issue on kernel change.??

I wouldn't have seen this besides having changed my swap over to physical drive number to keep my system functional across hibernations (uswsusp) shortly after the introduction of UUID. Hence me noticing the driver change (blank flashing cursor tends to focus attention)
