etrustco: "I truly hope there's less people affected by these libata issues than it seems, or 7.10 will be a fiasco :-( ... It is also unfortunate that Ubuntu removed (most of?) the old IDE modules/drivers, thus impeding the option to simply blacklist the (corresponding) libata driver.."
I can confirm this. I'm not even using cutting edge hardware. Ubuntu 5.10 has fewer disk issues than 7.04 and 7.10. 7.10 is the worst. I get these freeze-up events, and after a lot of Googling and reading tried to force the system back to the old ide-driver, just to realize that the piix module isn't part of Gusty any more, and ide-generic doesn't give me DMA :-( -- 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
