The new hdparm package doesn't fix all my problems. I still get errors late at boot just before gnome start appearing. And also it is impossible to update the acpi-support package.
However, booting with the nohdparm argument did the trick. I have been able to update the acpi-support with now problems and the resets late at boot are gone. Thank you for mentioning the nohdparm argument. I've been looking for a solution for 5 months. With karmic i also had these kind of problems. What are the consequences of booting with nohdparm? -- can't update acpi-support package on lucid running of an external hdd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567182 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
