Notes: 1. it seemed to happen when I inserted a thumb drive - it wouldn't recognize the thumb drive and initiated this ATA lockup.
2. SpinRite detected no bad sectors or even any correctable areas for the given partition on the disk. Jaunty run from the thumb drive doesn't seem to show the freezes. 3, It may be something very intermittent so it is possible that these are false negatives, however I've changed it to invalid since it might be a hardware problem - the disk might be loose. ** Changed in: kernel-package (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- ata loses interrupt, system freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
