Hi, I have the same problem reported at the end of https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/5537 Apart of reinstalling Ubuntu 7.04, I also installed Debian to see if the problem could be solved that way and the computer does the same. Searching here about this I found a lot of similar bugs linked. These are the ones I've collected:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106512 ATA Abnormal status https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53754 ata_piix problem with Intel ICH7 chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84603 Hard disk I/O randomly freezes when hald is running and optical drive is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37382 ata timeout freezes system partly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64587 log says "ata1 is slow to respond, please be patient" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107417 ata1: port failed to respond https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104581 Random freezes with "exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2" error I'm discarding a fail in the hard disk (so I would try to return the hardware to the vendor), since there are many people reporting the error. I hope these links could be helpful. Thank you very much to those who are trying to solve this. If this is already solved please comfirm here. I can reinstall ubuntu to verify everything you want. My new computer just cannot run correctly whith this problem. -- Hard disk I/O randomly freezes when hald is running and optical drive is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
