Hi Maya,

I think your change was an improvement (the most basic name covering
the most possibilities), so, personally, I wouldn't revert it, but I am
at a loss on what to do to diagnose my issue. Disk interaction with a
BIOS isn't something I know much about. That server is among the oldest
amd64 hardware I have, so I don't know if it's an extreme outlier or
this would be reproducible with other older gear, i.e, how much should
we care? Does anyone have an original Opteron machine to try? :)

Regards,

Dave
