I can confirm this as well, if it will do any good. i noticed this around a month ago and hoped that it would be fixed before the Hardy release, but seeing as we are 3 days away, i dont think that will happen. i am running a Dell Inspiron 530 with a SATA drive. The boot process begins and as it reaches the "loading hardware drivers" stage, i get these error messages:
[timestamp] ata1.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5) [timestamp] ata1.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5) then these repeat over and again: [timestamp] ata2.00 exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 action 0x2 frozen [timestamp] cmd a0/00:00:00:24:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 pio 36 in [timestamp] Status {DRDY} ( i typed those from a written account because I dont know how to get the actual report...) i filed a bug report a couple days ago because i was getting fed up with waiting. i will mark it as a duplicate of this bug. -- Dell Inspiron 530 SATA drive not detected in IDE mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153702 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
