I also have an ASUS M4A88TD-M EVO motherboard (AMD SB800) and LG CH10LS20 bluray drive combination. Booting Ubuntu (Maverick) is very slow due to the "softreset failed" errors. They cause the drive to lock up so hard that (after a warm reboot) even the BIOS doesn't detect it anymore and the tray won't open or close. Only a cold reboot remedies that.
The suggested fix of adding "libata.force=#:nohrst" to the boot options worked for me too. The drive is now detected and working properly. I've edited the bug's title to make it easier for LG owners to find it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668392 Title: HP / LG blu-ray drive gets softreset failed errors on 64 bit but not 32 bit -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
