Comment 2 for bug 56427

I can confirm this bug.

I have also experienced severe data loss from this bug as on two separate
occasions the partition table on a IDE harddisk (first time hda, second time
hdc) had disappeared!

After the first time I reinstalled the system on hda and the disk showed no
problems during or after the install. I have yet to resurrect hdc.

It would be great if this issue could be given a bit more attention than it
seems to have been given so far.

I have checked and my system (a Sparc Ultra 10) does have the SIMBA Advanced
PCI Bridge.
