[Bug 241552] [NEW] pata drive size being confused with sata drive

[Joe]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Hardy 2.6.24-19-server

I have a system with mixed pata and sata drives, the boot drive is the
first sata drive (sdb1).  sda1 is a 160G partition on a pata drive, sdb1
is a 10G partition on an sata drive.  Parted and cfdisk both report the
sizes correctly, however, If I try to put 15G of files on  the
/dev/sda1, it gives an out of space error.  It appears that the system
is using the size of sdb1 instead of sda1.  Prior to installing Hardy,
this system was using Debian Sid, and the drive sizes were correct.
