I have come across this, and it prevents my system from booting altogether, in Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 (x86_64)
My System is as follows: Motherboard = GA-MA770-DS3 rev 1.0 CPU = Athlon X2 3800+ HDD Configuration: Root is mounted on the IDE drive /home is mounted on a RAID 5 array (5x 500GB)spanning across the 4 SATA ports on board, plus 1 of the 2 ports on a Silicon Image SATA expansion card. I found the bug when preparing to install a new CPU into the system - I upgraded the bios from F2 to F7. Up until installing BIOS F7, my system was running flawlessly, only rebooting when there was a kernel update pushed through the Ubuntu updates. I am now systematically booting all the BIOSs. F7 = Error as seen in thread, plus may (different) kernel panics - I have photos of some of them. F6 = softreset error but boots normally F5 = softreset error but boots normally F4 = <not tested> F3 = <not tested> F2 = softreset error but boots normally I have tested firmware F7 using the following settings in BIOS: * Native IDE * Legacy IDE * SATA -> AHCI I have also tried with kernel parameter all_generic_ide but has also refused to boot (although in this case there are different kernel panics) When testing with BIOS F7, I have tried booting with various old kernels, without success: * 2.6.28-13-generic * 2.6.28-11-generic * 2.6.24-22-generic * 2.6.22-14-generic I have tried booting from the following Live CDs * Fedora 11 i686, both with and without all_generic_ide * Fedora 11 x86_64, both with and without all_generic_ide Unfortunately, until I can find a successful workaround, I cannot install my new precessor, as only the F7 bios supports it :( I have various photos of the stack traces and errors, but I wasn't too vigilent in noting down exactly what I tried for each photo. Regressing back to BIOS F2 from F7 fixes the problem. Load BIOS F7 exhibits the problem again - this seems quite repeatable. Hope this helps.
