Ran some additional experiments today: I bought an e-sata enclosure and connected the OCZ drive to the e-sata port (yet another sata IC so therefore yet another driver to try). I got the same results as with the sas port: blank screen with flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen when trying to boot from the OCZ drive, but can still boot from other drives.
I bought an SIIG DP SATA 6GB/s 2S1P PCIe SATA III adapter card. (it is PCIe x1 so it can't achieve more than 4 Gb/sec, but it is yet another controller, and yet another driver) This uses a Marvell 88SE91xx according to the bios. Got the same results as the other two Marvell controllers: flashing cursor in the upper left corner when attempting to boot from the OCZ drive, Can boot from other drives. (An interesting side note: The read bench mark gets 411.7 MB/sec with this controller, 193 MB/sec with the other Marvell controllers). I will take the drive to work tomorrow to update its firmware (Requires windows, and I don't use windows at home). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783313 Title: OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS drive makes system unstable -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
