I think the problem is with the ata_piix module. This page http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux suggest several workarounds, none of which are possible from a boot line. The easiest one to do in practice seems to be to ensure that the ide_generic module is loaded before the ata_piix module. I tested that solution from the busybox line, and it seems to work.
But my real workaround would be to play games tonight, and tomorrow I'll get a SATA DVD drive. That hopefully fixes this for good, for me :) -- ata1: port failed to respond https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107417 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
