@PrivateVoid: You can try disabling AHCI in your BIOS. Maybe this fixes the problem. Change setting "Advanced"|"IDE Configuration"|"SATA Operation Mode" from "Enhanced" to "Compatible". However if you have a parallel installation of Windows XP (made in AHCI mode) this will no longer boot.
You may also post to linux-ide to confirm the suspicion of a firmware issue. If it is really a firmware issue then become an Asus Member (http://member.asus.com/) and file a request like I did. Maybe the more people complain about this issue the higher the chances that Asus reacts. -- ata3: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256637 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
