BTW, my SATA controller is set to RAID mode and the grub modifier worked. My blu-ray drive is set on the 3rd port now, so the grub mod I used is:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="libata.force=3:nohrst" On my board, the port numbers start with 1 and not 0 like most boards do. I added this line to my /etc/default/grub (actually /etc/default/burg in my case), ran a sudo update-burg (sudo update-grub or sudo update-grub2 if you are not using BURG) and rebooted. Voila! Markus's magic is working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668392 Title: HP blu-ray drive gets softreset failed errors on 64 bit but not 32 bit -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
