Perhaps that you speak about Xorg (graphical interface?). Also, normally, you can add "all_generic_ide" i

Hi Robert, Thanks for testing and the feedback. It seems this was resolved mainly because of the BIOS update. I'm going to go ahead and mark this "Fix Released". Others experiencing the same issue will still be able to search and find this bug report and see that a BIOS update resolved the issu
