Probably this is the solution for every Samsung NC10 owner with an ssd?

It looks like grub is still v0.97. So this is worth a try but the whole thing must be frustrating. If this grub patch doesn't work it still doesn't prove that you don't have ahci, right?

I looked at the patch. ASM is still spooky to me, hah. But it does seem specifically written for a mac pro. I would be amazed if the addresses were the same across a wide range of hardware.

regarding adresses, one needs to verify if they are the same. i was a little into 8080 ASM long time ago in school. long time ago ;)
well if i get the time, i'll check that out.

say, are the linux/ubuntuusers/ubuntulinux communities of LJ dead? i posted something, and now i'm blocked cause the posts are in queue of those.

I'm not sure if i'll stay with LJ, everything seems a little dead in here.

Greetings, Guen

Yeah, there is very little english activity. The one good thing is LJ stuff usually ranks high on search engines though.

Maybe you could become a new maintainer for a linux community. Or even easier, do you know of a good linux rss feed? We can create a community feed and we can all comment on the news.

i have never used rss feeds before. i'm still oldfashioned ^^ (forums and blogs). ifi you want to do the work, i'll help.

for ubuntu, there is a good site, ubuntuusers.de, but it's all in german. german is no problem for me, but i still prefer english sometimes.

well, if you know a good way to communicate with others, i'm open ears ;) i guess a new community here will not live long, got a feeling that there are not much linux 'freaks' at LJ ;)

greetings, guen
