Using the Asus A8V-MX as well. Worked without any issues with the Gutsy kernel. But, Hardy kernel is having a lot of problems with ata1. Trying "irqpoll" on the kernel boot option did not help.
ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 13 SControl 30) ata1.0: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) ata1.0: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) ata1: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs That repeats three times before moving on to ata[2-4] where it recognizes quickly the SATA link is down. Eventually I get dumped into the (initramfs) prompt. Strange that the newer release is less functional than the prior. -- SATA not recognized by Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209454 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
