Before xsplash AND in CNTL ALT F1 mode, it gives error [sdb] Assuming Drive Cache: Write Through

[willz06jw]

Before xsplash AND in CNTL ALT F1 mode, it gives an error which states: [sdb] Assuming Drive Cache: Write Through

It appears continuously and never stops repeating. It causes no errors inside of X, but there is an issue somewhere.

Thanks for your work,
Will

Any word on this? I am stopping myself from updating until this is resolved so you can have a test bed.

[willz06jw (willz06jw)]

This is also causing me to be unable to update to 11.04, since Ubuntu is having trouble operating my hard drive

[willz06jw (willz06jw)]

I have found where the problem is coming from. Ubuntu is throwing this error because it does not like that I have a mounted zip drive. This still needs to be fixed though.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

willz06jw, 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? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

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

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
