This is the listing of the open bugs that are relatively new, around 2.6.22 and up. They are vaguely classified by specific area. (not a full list, there are more :)
The good part is that reporters of the bugs below are still around and haven't dissipated, or disposed of their hardware, so it is a good time to get the bugs. Those bugzillas that have been started as regressions on Rafael's list are not mentioned here so far, since they are being tracked as new regressions already.
It would be appreciated if the corresponding maintenance team could take a look, close off any which are fixed and see if they can fix any which aren't.
NOTE: when replying to this email, please add the bug number to the Subject in the form [Bug 1234] so that bugzilla will capture the discussion. Thanks.

Can someone familiar with ACPI tell me why the method is failing? At any rate, libata should work fine regardless of ACPI failures. Maybe it's time to start blacklist to skip ATA-ACPI for some boards to avoid those annoying messages during boot)
