@Christopher I have to agree with M. van Workum. Regarding your comments in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1005226/comments/25 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1005226/comments/30 I would like to make the following comments:
1) The page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue is about reporting bugs in Xorg and not the kernel, and as such probably does not apply to kernel bugs. The linux kernel is much more tightly integrated than the xserver and all of it's associated packages. 2) The comments in paragraph 6 at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette are insulting. 3) The page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports is actually relevant and useful, however it does not say anything about filing separate bug reports. -- 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/1005226 Title: Marvell SATA Controller. Problem booting and detecting HDDs in kernel 3.2.0. Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: While HDDs conected to my SB950 controller are detected, ones connected to the Marvell 88SE9172 Controller are not, also causing a significant delay in boot times. This was also present previously when when I used kernel 3.0.0 in LinuxMint 12. The affected drives are still able to be booted from and recognized within Windows 7. ## dmesg results for delayed period: [ 6.908078] ata9: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 6.908948] ata9.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, err_mask=0x80) [ 12.392060] ata10: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) [ 12.393795] ata10.00: failed to IDENTIFY (device reports invalid type, err_mask=0x0) [ 17.392075] ata9: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 17.392958] ata9.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, err_mask=0x80) [ 17.392962] ata9: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps [ 22.876062] ata10: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) [ 22.884055] ata9: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) [ 22.884926] ata9.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, err_mask=0x80) [ 28.376054] ata9: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) I'm having a similar issue to bug #260543, "JMicron SATA Controller.
