Andy, I know that this bug was fixed for Intrepid 2.6.27 as of version 2.6.27-5 (around 6th of October 2008).
I don't think that it resurfaced in 2.6.27 (Intrepid) (I don't know, I moved to Jaunty).

My message refers to 2.6.28 (Jaunty). It seems that new stuff was introduced in 2.6.28 for nForce 2/3 chipsets which made the fixed bug reappear. From the patch explanation, by Tejun:

"This problem has always been there but is uncovered by recent sata_nv
nf2/3 change which dropped hardreset support while maintaining SCR
access."

I will gladly test an updated 2.6.28 Ubuntu kernel. I already tested vanilla 2.6.28 on the kernel's Bugzilla and Tejun's patch fixed the problem. By the way, it was vanilla, but compiled with Ubuntu's kernel config file.
