Ok, so after running 9.10 and discovering this issue. I now have booted off a 9.04 USB stick and dd'ed /dev/zero over both sda and sdb. I then installed 9.04 and have no issues.
So the hardware is not faulty. -- SSD stall during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445852 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
