I got a PATA drive??

[Martijn van Es]

What i understand this is more of a kernel thing than a kubuntu thing. It was 
tested during the herd releases, but not inplemented in the final release.
Shortly after the final release an upgrade became available changing the 
drivers for discs labeling everything as sdx again.
Now, i have a problem with my speed in this new configuration and i found a 
few places where people have the same problem, but no answers until now.

I'd like to know if more people have very slow hard drives and maybe somebody 
solved the problem already and like to share knowledge :)

Bye!
