Dan, did you compile the kernel and mess it up a bit?
At least one of those things ;-).
Just have a look at the config and disable libata as default.
I vaguely remember reading on t'web that the migration to libata as default promised some kind of performance improvement. ?
(I think also normal SATA/SCSI devices don't use libata... but I would probably be wrong - I'm sure Dan can look at the kernel config and see if that's the case).
diff config-2.6.27.10-tuxonice config-2.6.28-tuxonice | grep -i 'ata'
# CONFIG_MTD_DATAFLASH_WRITE_VERIFY is not set CONFIG_MTD_DATAFLASH_OTP=y CONFIG_IDE_GD_ATA=y CONFIG_IDE_GD_ATAPI=y
Any of those sound relevant?
