Hi David, A kernel bug report was opened against Ubuntu [0]. This bug is a regression introduced in v4.15-rc4. The following commit was identified as the cause of the regression:
2dc0b46b5ea3 ("libata: sata_down_spd_limit should return if driver has not recorded sstatus speed") I was hoping to get your feedback, since you are the patch author. Do you think gathering any additional data will help diagnose this issue, or would it be best to submit a revert request?

I installed lubuntu 18.04.1 on the Toshiba HDD and it boots just fine, the issue is with the second hard drive, when installing the WD HDD wouldn't even come as an option to install, and after boot the WD HDD still wouldn't come up, this is the dmesg with the stock kernel (4.15) https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kpxh94v2SK/ ata6 is the WD HDD that refuses to work. The messages: [ 302.107650] ata6: SError: { CommWake 10B8B Dispar DevExch } [ 302.107658] ata6: hard resetting link [ 307.860291] ata6: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) [ 312.120898] ata6: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) [ 363.445120] INFO: task kworker/u8:5:201 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Also when I try to turn off the computer, the computer seem to freeze, the lights of the keyboard and mouse turn off and the computer just stay on. I tried Tiny Core 9.0 which has linux 4.14.10, and i didn't had this issue, i also installed linux 4.14 on this lubuntu 18.04 using Ukuu Kernel Update Utility. And with this kernel version, or any previous version the WD HDD does work again. Here's a dmesg of lubuntu 18.04 with linux 4.14 and the WD HDD finally coming up at the end: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Gd3cGFbjTJ/ Also tried with with linux 4.17 but the WD HDD would also refuse to work on this version.
