Possible Workaround for 2.6.x kernels is to blacklist r8169, so r8168 can be used, see my comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/864750/comments/34 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.lau

I was just thinking that these problems might be due to misconfiguration or suboptimal configuration of the controller, or even suboptimal configuration of and/or conflicts with other devices in the system. So it might be a driver problem, but also a driver problem of some other device (other cont

In the end, it seems that this bug is related to - HDD problems like unreadable blocks / sectors - possibly changes in how HDDs act in such situations - some controllers like the one in AMD SB700 - kernel / libata changes after 2.6.24 (?) I worry that maybe - HDD manufacturers are changing the way

Reproduced in Lucid. Possible workaround: convert vmware disks to IDE. It could be that it is a kernel driver (mptscsih) problem that affects some real hardware as well, (searched for "mptscsih: ioc0: attempting task abort!") - perhaps the driver times out to soon for specific operations or some
