I have the exact same issue with an Asus EEE Box, also with Ubuntu Server 8.10.
Sometimes the server runs for months before this happening. Other times only a single day. I have two identical boxes, but only the one of them (the busyiest) is showing this behaviour. The busy one has an external USB harddisk attached, if that matters. Does anyone have an idea what to look for? I cannot see anything special in the messages-log. Besides suddenly the messages about "link is slow to respond" appears. It is usually in the morning this happens (around 7:32). -- Consistent repeating [ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient ] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297058 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
