Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: Never used libata on this hw before Distribution: Ark Linux 2006.1 Hardware Environment: Asus Pundit-S barebone, SiS chipset, 80 GB harddisk (primary master), Noname DVD-ROM drive (primary slave) (Hardware doesn't provide a secondary IDE controller) Software Environment: Kernel 2.6.18-rc4-mm1, loading pata_sis from initramfs, so not much else is there Problem Description: pata_sis fails to detect the CD/DVD drive, "old" IDE drivers work fine (and I'm actually booting from the "non-working" CD/DVD drive up to getting the error).

Bernhard, Have you tried latest kernels, is the problem still there? Thanks.
Sorry, can't check -- I don't have the hardware anymore, it's at a former employer's office. I'll try to borrow it, but it'll take a while
Ping.
Closing this bug for inactivity. Please reopen if the problem confirmed with latest kernel.
