The message ata_id[821]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument shows also when I boot from external disk with - another notebook: Asus A6Tc - a different disk: WD Passport - a different LinuxMint 12 Lisa So it is an old problem not yet solved. Based on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27060 I did on LinuxMint 12: cat /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules and attached this file The relevant lines of the file seem to be the 3 lines after # Run ata_id on non-removable USB Mass Storage (SATA/PATA disks in enclosures) I think ata_id must be patched but I am not an expert.
