kernel 2.6.27-7 ata exceptions and I/O Errors during system boot

[Igor]

Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.27-7-generic-di

On my system Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 with marvell SATA controller and 1 Seagate ST3500320AS disk both i386 and x86_64 architecture of 2.6.27-7 kernel Ubuntu 8.10 I get ATA exceptions and I/O Errors after that during system boot. This occurs when HAL loads. In the same time kernel 2.6.24 boots without any problems

There is a possibility this is an actual kernel bug, but not in -7. I run -9 and am also getting intermittent ATA errors. Seagate hard disks, over the past few years, however, have been prone to failures. I have a Seagate ATA ST3120213AS. 120 GiB. Is this a kernel issue with certain SATA Seagate Drives? Driver issue? Or is it reall this failure-propensity in the drives? Can anyone confirm what the problem is?

Hi Igor,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 286380

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
