Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

Ubuntu 2.6.22-14.46-server (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2) Sun Oct 14 23:34:23 GMT 2007
MB chipset SIS 730. IDE interface SIS 5513.
Two HDD an the same ATA cable (master/slave by jumpers), ATA 133/100 detected by AMIBIOS and set to ATA100 (max board cap)
One CDROM on IDE2 (checked with both ATA and IDE-40wire cables), UDMA33 by BIOS
libata 2.21, pata_sis version 0.5.1 detects HD as UDMA/100 and CDROM as UDMA/33 --> OK
and sis900.c - v1.08.10 loads
--> ata1.00: ... 16Sec max UDMA/133
--> ata1.01: ... 8Sec max UDMA/100
--> ata2.00: ... max UDMA/33
....
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 --> normal, board limit
ata1.01: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable --> why? same cable!?
ata1.01: configured for UDMA/33 --> is this a bug?
ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33
.... some long (30 sec) stops on ata1.00 exception ... (timeout)
and then ata1.00 is limited even lower
ata1.00 configured for UDMA/66

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug does not meet the criteria for a stable release update and is being marked as Won't Fix for the kernel version the bug was submitted about. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .
However, the issue that you reported is one that should be possible to test with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed kernel. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ .
If you do decide to test with the development release of Ubuntu please comment on this bug report and include at least the minimal information requested at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
