I guess it's good to know it's not exclusively limited to Axel's eeePC :) I suppose we won't know how many other machines are affected until we change the default at least, but with two known-issue machine there is already something to work with (assuming, as Axel pointed out, there is someone to work on it). I still personally think switching the default option to ATA will yield better results for alpha, even if a few people need to switch it back temporarily for compatibility reasons. - Urias
