The Upstream bug I reported has no action (as far as I can tell) taken
on it.

The bug seems to be only apparent when a USB connected rotational drive
does not support certain features when interrogated by the kernel at
start-up, so for most drives it may not appear but for my tiny 8GB
SEAGATE ST68022CF non-SMART drive they do.

Title:
  Unnecessary HDIO_GET_IDENTITY message on boot

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When there is a USB drive connected at boot time, the kernel displays
  the message "....HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failure...." before starting the X
  system which is only going to confuse and alarm users as it is
  basically useless and has no relevance to the actual operation of the
  system.
