Ok, the thing did not resolve the issue. I rebooted (like 5 times now) and am still getting the 10 sec delay with an ata1 SRST failed message.
I installed the custom packages, got rid of the ubuntu ones, rebooted and nothing. Then I uninstalled the custom ones, made sure I only had an old ubuntu kernel version (2.6.35-22) and installed them again. Still nothing. "cat /boot/config-2.6.35-28-generic | grep AHCI" says: CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=m So everything seemed to work as intended but issue is not resolved. Either this is not a proper workaround or my bug is a different one... I listen to any other suggestions. Jarret: thanks very much anyways, you did a tremendous job by guiding me step-by-step through the thing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/595448 Title: Slow boot caused by SATA controller reset -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
