Bug Description

I have just put 10.10 beta on a spare PATA drive in my INTEL SE7505VB2 based machine which runs as my server in 10.04 with 2 SATA and 1 PATA in software raid. All drives are OK 10.04 but the ones on the sata_sil 3112A controller are not found in 10.10 beta initially or after subsequent updates. dmesg snippet follows :-

I can confirm this bug with the same SATA controller, running Ubuntu 10.10 (linux-image-server kernel).

The controller does not ignore all hard drives. It realizes a Seagate ST380013AS, but ignores another Hitachi HDD

@David, Tomdkat: It would be nice to know which harddrives you use

There was a recent Ubuntu 10.10 kernel update that seems to fix this problem. I downloaded and installed this kernel update on November 24, 2010. I'm now running kernel version 2.6.35-23-generic and I can now access my SATA drive.

David Bentley, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Maverick reached EOL on April 2012.
Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

We were wondering if this is still an issue in a supported release? If so, can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in a supported release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
