Comment 4 for bug 155702

I don't think this bug is a duplicate of #150693, just because it deals with the same module! And your "fix", David, would better be called a workaround.

Gutsy does use the kernel's new libata consistently for all chipsets. Being relatively new code, it is by far not as mature and stable as the old IDE-BLK_DEV-code. It is considered the future, though, and the old ide-core will some day become deprecated.

That's why we should actually try to fix bugs in libata and make it as stable and reliable as our old trusted ide-modules. The patch I posted went into mainline kernel 2.6.23 and other distributions. It is essentially just a typo that should be fixed. See that thread on linux-ide-ml: http://marc.info/?i=20070921072905.GC10660%20()%20htj%20!%20dyndns%20!%20org

So could somebody responsible for gutsy's kernel please at least acknowledge that bug. Thanks!
