Sam Brightman, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-f8 needs-upstream-testing ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940846 Title: ata lost interrupts, blocked waiting for disk Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: At some point on 29th July my Ubuntu 10.04 machine became unresponsive. I recognise this was a while ago, but wanted to register it at least in case other people had the same issue or it came up again. I did capture the full syslogs from the time, but unforunately the bug reporting tool will have atached my 11.10 details. When I tried to use the machine at least networking and crond were still running, but display was not outputting anything and I couldn't log in using VNC or SSH. Machine was pingable and showed open ports. After rebooting, I saw these errors in the logs: sam@wildthing:/var/log$ zgrep "lost interrupt" syslog* syslog.1:Jul 29 08:12:13 wildthing kernel: [176483.080064] ata7: lost interrupt (Status 0x58) syslog.1:Jul 29 08:36:24 wildthing kernel: [177934.080065] ata7: lost interrupt (Status 0x58) syslog.1:Jul 29 12:59:19 wildthing kernel: [193709.120067] ata7: lost interrupt (Status 0x58) syslog.1:Jul 29 13:09:54 wildthing kernel: [194344.080066] ata7: lost interrupt (Status 0x58) syslog.1:Jul 29 15:16:05 wildthing kernel: [201915.120092] ata7: lost interrupt (Status 0x58) They are followed by related messages, then finally some tasks look like they are blocking writing to disk: sam@wildthing:/var/log$ grep blocked syslog.1 Jul 29 17:00:51 wildthing kernel: [208200.940118] INFO: task udisks-daemon:1938 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
