Bug Description
Could be possible to add the support for PATA devices on the Promise PDC20378 in
Breezy?
I have two IDE disk connected to the IDE ports of this controller (Asus K8V
Deluxe) recognized in Hoary but not in Breezy.
Maybe is this patch missing from the current Breezy kernel?

Hi,
yes we know the problem, and the patch that hit hoary was a big mistake.
Upstream itself contacted us to revert such a driver because it's far
from being stable and it can cause data loss.
There is a thread about it on our kernel-team mailing list.
We are not going to merge this driver until upstream will confirm that's
stable enough.
