Bug Description
Binary package hint: kernel-
With Ubuntu Feisty, each and every kernel update switches the forcefully use of libata for PATA drives from ON to OFF to ON to OFF...
Here's what I've experienced with Kubuntu 7.04:
* kernel 2.6.20-12: IDE (PATA) /dev/hda goes into /dev/sda
* kernel 2.6.20-13: IDE (PATA) goes back to /dev/hda
* kernel 2.6.20-14: IDE (PATA) /dev/hda goes again /dev/sda
* kernel 2.6.20-15: IDE (PATA) goes back to /dev/hda
* kernel 2.6.20-16: IDE (PATA) /dev/hda goes again /dev/sda
Is this project (Ubuntu/Kubuntu) really having a management? (Sorry, I had to say that. The aforementioned inconsistency is outrageous.)
