Last night, I booted both, Kubuntu Dapper Drake LiveCD and later, Kubuntu Edgy Eft LiveCD. Both releases correctly identified my PCMCIA hard drive (KINGSTON DP-PCM2/5GB, V2.11 B, max PIO2). I only had to add entries to the /etc/fstab for it, run sudo mount -a and I had access to the device.
Kubuntu Feisty Fawn 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Sun Sep 23 19:50:39 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux does not, as these bug posts attest, work in properly identifying and setting up this PCMCIA hard drive. So, something was done to the kernel (?) when Feisty was released. I see that this bug report is still listed as STATUS Incomplete and IMPORTANCE Undecided. What is it going to take to get this problem off of dead center and fixed? -- PCMCIA hard disk drive not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83471 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
