A few more notes from testing. A lot of people talking about CD-ROM drives. I have two optical drives, one Samsung and one NEC.
I disconnected the Samsung drive - same problem. Connect both optical drives plus Samsung SATA harddrive - problem Connect both optical drives plus Maxtor SATA harddrive - problem Disconnect SATA hardrive - no problem >From what I can tell the issue is with the SATA harddrive and not with any of the optical drives. Currently I am using the system everyday with both optical drives and an IDE hard drive with no problems. As soon as I reconnect the SATA hard drive - problems. The SATA harddrive has been used before in a Ubuntu box with no problems - these issues developed sometime around an upgrade to Feisty. Currently I am using Gutsy with exactly the same problems. Another point - the piix workaround doesn't seem to be the key to the issue - I have a via board and I get the 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
