Yesterday, I had a very similar problem with a computer that never had this problem before. I googled and found a very interesting forum discussion with one person that had experienced this issue. ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=598837 ) He tried to resolve it using 3 different motherboards, with 2 different HDD, with several GNU/Linux distribution and several SATA cables. Always the problem was there. Someone argued that SATA cables are often crappy cables, and that he had to replace almost 20 cables in 4 years. He proposed then to try with a cable of better quality. This is what our first guy did, he bought a SATA2 cable of better quality that the SATA ones delivered with the motherboards and his problem was solved.
I then try to just disconnect my SATA cable and connect it back and my problem was also solved. I also compared a bunch of SATA cables I have and there actually is a noticeable difference between them. Some have their contacts that are hardly visible, other very prominent contacts. The last will least be prone to problems than the first. Maybe this won't work for all of you but it could be worth give it a try. Maybe there are false contacts due to a bad cable in conjunction with the vibrations inside the tower. -- Giovanni -- Computer hangs up (freeze) and reports SATA errors during disk checking after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217920 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
