Hi Don, If found out that I also had the longest tail of the IDE cable attached to the CDROM and not to the MB but, unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem (I also switched to a brand new IDE cable, just to be sure, since the old one was pretty twisted and deformed). My setup is quite simple: just the CDROM as primary master, there are no other devices, the second bus is empty. I tried to connect the CDROM both to the middle and to the end connector but no way. BIOS recongnize correctly the device as primary master and the kernel detects a scsi-emulated cdrom, loads the proper devices /dev/sr0 and /dev/scd0 but NOT the standard /dev/hda. For the rest of the operating system the cdrom simply doesn't exist and forceing apps to use /dev/sr0 just hangs them.
This bug is really annoying, if it's kernel-related stuff, I hope a new patched kernel will be added to repositories as soon as possible. -- IDE hard drives not visible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222322 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
