[Bug 445852] Re: devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM Violations on SSD, and potential hardware death

@Raf: Could you explain how to disable /lib/udev/rules.d/95-devkit- disks.rules (using dpkg-divert) so I can apply the workaround - the corruption is finally starting to hit my setup over the past couple of days. One good thing has came out of a good Windows tech but linux n00b fumbling about not

@Andrew Simpson: Many thanks for the instructions. The workaround has dropped my boot time from always over 2 minutes to 30 seconds, what I was expecting back in late September when I installed the Beta with the Super Talent SSD! Almost 3 months of woe now at an end thank goodness. Recreated my u

@Raf: Don't think it's an ext4 issue - I'm very sure that when I first ran Karmic Beta on the USB boot stick it hung on the detection of the SSD before I even got to the partition menu. I tried ext2 first and got corruption pretty quickly and then setup in ext4 before I spotted this bug report on

Setting libata.dma=3 to grub seems to have stopped the hang on my AAO so far, the entries in dmesg are gone. Still taking over a minute to boot though but that's something I'll live with for now. It's early days but premature thanks go out to Andrew Squire in advance! -- SSD stall during boot h

You're correct - it was early days and premature! Though I could put up with the slow boot time with anything other than basic web browsing I couldn't handle the drop the disk read performance from 67mb/sec to 2Mb/sec never mind write. It was worse than my old stock AAO SSD was with Jaunty playin

Couldn't agree more Andrew. It's the easy way out to blame this on hardware, they may have had a valid point but clearly none of us ever had a problem with this until Karmic and the newer kernels. To paraphrase that old saying "If it looks like a Kernel Bug, acts like a Kerrnel Bug then it's a Ke

I have noticed if I power up the AAO without mains power more often than not it only freezes on the first part of the boot process and not during GDM making all the applets fail, which gives me the most stable I've got Karmic working so far. Fsck seems to want to run every boot now just before the
