Hello, This bug I reported in November 2012: http://www.kernelhub.org/?p=2&msg=170797 http://home.comcast.net/~jpiszcz/20121128/highpoint.jpg
Some discussion on the patches: http://www.kernelhub.org/?p=2&msg=172597 http://www.kernelhub.org/?p=2&msg=171846 http://www.kernelhub.org/?p=2&msg=172346 My current choices: 1. Stick with old kernel (3.7.x) + patch, which works w/IOMMU=on and use 6gbps SATA board. 2. Put drive back on motherboard SATA2 and the machine will boot properly with any kernel. 3. I would prefer to use 6gbps if possible. There is still a problem with 3.9.8: (below) Rebooting to new kernel (3.9.8) from the 3.7.x kernel w/ patch provided earlier: Jun 28 07:48:54 p34 [ 5809.227191] EXT4-fs (sdc2): re-mounted.
