Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kubuntu-live
When booting in 'Safe Graphics' mode (the nv driver doesn't like my GeForce 6600 card) or even just trying to run a check for CD defects, the Kubuntu Feisty Fawn Beta 1 Live CD fails to boot early in the process after apparently trying to access a floppy disc for several seconds. Eventually it drops to a busybox console and the following error appears over the prompt: ata2.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) If I put a floppy in the drive and try to boot again, it accesses the floppy disc for a while and then proceeds to boot as normal. dmesg and /var/log/messages contain the following after the successful boot: [ 35.968478] ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: version 2.10ac1 [ 35.968524] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.1 to 64 [ 35.968619] ata1: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x000101f0 ctl 0x000103f6 bmdma 0x0001f000 irq 14 [ 35.968681] ata2: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x00010170 ctl 0x00010376 bmdma 0x0001f008 irq 15 [ 35.968711] scsi0 : ata_piix [ 36.026151] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 [ 36.036598] Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M [ 36.111818] FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 [ 36.130278] ata1.00: ATA-7: SAMSUNG SP2014N, VC100-33, max UDMA/100 [ 36.130286] ata1.00: 390721968 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 [ 36.138282] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 [ 36.141069] scsi1 : ata_piix [ 36.224568] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 36.457942] ata2.00: ATAPI, max UDMA/33 [ 36.465710] usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 [ 36.621840] ata2.01: ATAPI, max UDMA/33 [ 36.720078] usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 66.593489] ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) [ 66.593505] ata2.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) [ 66.593513] ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs [ 72.240396] ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 All the hard drives and optical drives are detected and operate correctly and so does the floppy drive once I'm in KDE.
