Hello.

You asked for this information:

"Known affected devices

This list is far from complete. If you have a hardware affected by this problem, please write to linux-ide and attach the outputs of "dmidecode", "hdparm -I /dev/[hs]dX" and "smartctl -a /dev/[hs]dX" where dev/[hs]dX is the affected drive."

I use a Dell Inspirion 1300 with a WD IDE 2,5" Notebook-HDD. My OS is Ubuntu 8.04. Before I used Ubuntu 7.10 and was not affected by this bug.

Hope, this helps a little bit.

See ya, Maic.
