I installed trusty today on the same motherboard but using an other SSD: a Samsung 840
I have the exact same issue, so the Marvell controller support is, with no doubt, the guilty. Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9123 PCIe SATA 6.0 Gb/s controller [1b4b:9123] (rev 10) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0]) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Summary changed: - Incompatible with Marvell's SATA controllers with an SSD attached + Incompatible with Marvell's SATA controllers 88SE9123 with an SSD attached -- 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/1073391 Title: Incompatible with Marvell's SATA controllers 88SE9123 with an SSD attached Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My controller is a marvell 9123 and the SSD is a Corsair Neutron 240GB. The drive is brand new and because I thought it was a drive issue, I exchanged it against an other brand new one at my retailers. So the drive isn't the issue. First install went fine, but when I tried to install some packages using apt, the / file system got mounted read only. I tried to reinstall and got the same issue during installation. WORKAROUND: Disabled NCQ by adding "libata.force:noncq" to default kernel options of the installer. After the install, I added "libata.force=7:noncq" in /etc/default/grub like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash libata.force=7:noncq" and updated grub. I used "7:" because errors I saw occurred with ata7 info in dmesg.
