Description of problem: Kernels 2.6.17 take longer to boot than 2.6.16-1.2133 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.17-1-1.2139, kernel 2.6.17-1.2145 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the kernel and boot on ASUS M8R-MVP motherboard with one SATA-II HDD 2. 3. Actual results: Kernel waits longer for SATA links (motherboard has 4 SATA-II sockets on ULi M1575 controller). Now kernel waits for like 15 seconds each for each of 3 unused SATA sockets and reports that link is down. After that HDD LED on computer case stays ON and does not blink when there is IO activity Expected results: Check that nothing is connected to SATA socket faster and do not set HDD LED on Additional info: Motherboard ASUS A8R-MVP (http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx? l1=3&l2=15&l3=0&model=787&modelmenu=1) HDD Seagate Barracuda SATA-300
Everything was fine under kernel 2.6.16-1.2133.x86_64

Hello, Thank you. I just rebooted PC under new kernel and it is clear that this bug is gone. Later today I will try to burn CD (that was/is an issue before) and report later. Thanks a lot
Hello, I checked and now can confirm that IDE DVD-burner works now. Finally, I can use it. The bug can be closed as resolved. Thanks, Boris
