Unrelated to this bug, which should be fixed when we know what's going wrong,
it might be more appropriate for Yast to select the ata-* links if the
vendor=="ATA".
This would prevent such failures based on the libata-SCSI-command-emulation.
The current picture according to kernel device names has changed recently,
according to Tejun's plan to move libata out of SCSI, while the device names
will stay as /dev/sd*.
But as there will be no SCSI envolved anymore, the the "native" representation
for libata devices would be the ata-* links. There will likely be a compat
solution for libata SCSI enquiries, but it might be good not to depend on these
values.
Also the SCSI-layer truncates some ATA string values, so it might be good to
switch to the ata-* links by default, to prepare for future changes and prevent
truncation of for example vendor/product strings.
