Public bug reported: Hi,
I have three identical systems having the same problem. System: HP Compaq dc7900 tower pc (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 VT Enabled 4GB RAM Bios V1.11) Distro: Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 2.6.27-11.26-server vmware-server-1.0.8 is installed in the system using the steps described here: http://www.insecure.ws/2008/10/20/vmware-specific-specific-55x-and-kernel-2627 There is no problem with the installation. I created a 12GB vm disk without any problem. However, whenever I start the guest, the system locks up and begin throwing sata errors. All three systems have the same problem. The ata cmd in the messages are different from https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309901 so I create a new report. I tried disabling hpet/acpi, nomsi, noapic, libata.force=noncq without success To reproduce, I run dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/data1/test123 bs=1000000 count=100000 but it did not trigger. /data1 is also on the same disk. It happens only when starting a vmware guest. I tried collecting dump information using sysrq triggers however keyboard (usb) does not respond after the crash. Attachments are following.
