Laurent Dinclaux, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. 
Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (v3.7-rc3-raring) 
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow 
additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the 
kernel in the mainline kernels archive directory daily folder, but the one all 
the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment 
on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the 
mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For 
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.7-rc3-raring

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next 
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please 
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why 
specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

- Hello,
- 
- First install went fine, but when I tried to install some packages using
- apt, the / file system got mounted read only.
- 
- I tried to reinstall and got the same issue during installation.
- 
- After a lot of searching I found a workaround, I disabled NCQ by adding
- "libata.force:noncq" to default kernel options of the installer.
- 
- After the install, I added "libata.force=7:noncq" in /etc/default/grub
- like this:
- 
- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash libata.force=7:noncq"
- 
- and updated grub. I used "7:" because errors I saw occured with ata7
- info in dmesg.
- 
  My controller is a marvell 9123 and the SSD is a Corsair Neutron 240GB.
  The drive is brand new and because I thought it was a drive issue, I
  exchanged it against an other brand new one at my retailers. So the
  drive isn't the issue.
