We tested some potential BIOS fixes for this issue, and so far everything is looking good with the drives that would not boot previously. In a nutshell, my understanding is that there was a problem with the way the BIOS was reading some of the LBA information off the drives in question.
@Colin, is there anything in the grub2 code that would possibly cause issues down the road with what was mentioned in comment #9? If not, then I think we can close this one out in the next few days pending an OK from the customer. Thanks for your help. ** Changed in: oem-priority Importance: Critical => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741799 Title: OS fails to boot certain SATA drives in AHCI mode. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
