After upgrading 8.04 to 8.10 I've experienced this problem too. Adding "rootdelay=240" in grub's boot menu makes the kernel boot, but the error message was still being reported:
ata4: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata4: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) ata4: hard resetting link The kernel in question is 2.6.27-11-server. I had to make 2.6.24-23-server my default kernel for now, until this bug is fixed. Does anybody have the information whether this bug is fixed in Jaunty (2.6.28.11.13 kernel, at the moment) or not? I'm attaching outputs of dmesg, lspci -vv, lshw and dmidecode), in case someone needs that data.
