idectl script.
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you. This still occurs. I believe it will require major work in the IDE portions of the kernel to make ide hot swap to actually work - let alone performance tweaks to make it run correctly. That's not going to realistically happen until FC7 when we switch over to use libata for both PATA and SATA. I'm incredibly nervous about backporting those changes to existing releases. Fedora Core 5 is no longer maintained. Is this bug still present in Fedora 7 or Fedora 8? I'm not too sure. I haven't had this laptop in well over a year now. I also can't check on any of my current equipment as I don't have any systems with /dev/hdx - everything is SATA now. If someone could test this, it would be great, however I don't have that capability anymore. |
