I've found a work round which lets me boot my fedora machine on the latest kernel. I needed to append:
libata.pata_dma=1 .. to the kernel boot options. I'm not sure if this option is present in all kernels (I think it's in Debian, so it's probably in Ubuntu), but it made my drive start working reliably again. For reference there is a more general bug in redhats bugzilla which is tracking this and other related issues (which seem to affect a lot of systems). The bug reference is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242956 Hope this works for you too. -- Won't boot on a DELL Poweredge 2500 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148466 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
