A possible work around from the upstream bug report is to boot with 'irqpoll' in the kernel boot parameters. It's not a good fix, the logs are still full of error messages, but at least the 'stall' is reduced.
Regrettably, it's probably best to avoid using Karmic on SSD equipped netbooks. Use Jaunty instead, since this bug probably won't be fixed in the near future. -- 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
