Public bug reported: My system has random freezes, sometimes during boot, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after a few hours. Everytime there are ata port errors like "ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x1c00000 action 0x2 frozen" (see logs). I had this with Feisty, but even after a fresh Gutsy install the problem doesn't disappear. I tried three different motherboards, two different harddisks, on the current motherboard two different SATA-controllers.
When the system freezes, I sometimes can continue after a minute or so. Sometimes I have to reboot using either the reset button or the alt- sysreq-SUB sequence. Sometimes after a reboot Grub is loading, and the gives a "Read error". Usually after a fresh install the system runs fine for about two weeks (only running a few hours a day, then shut down). The frequency of freezes then increases up to a point where it becomes unuseable. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ATA port freezes randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157650 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
