"softreset failed on device, ata error"

[BK Singh]

While booting LMDE, a lot of hardware failure and error messages are displayed initially like ACPI, ATA, MMIO etc. errors. But finally after flashing these errors the system boot up process takes a long time and boots up successfully and the login screen appears. I am using LMDE GNOME amd64 edition and regularly take all updates and apply them in the hope that I'll get rid of all these errors and problems. I'm using Gigabyte GAMA78GMS2H motherboard with ATI Radeon 3200 inbuilt graphics card. Kindly do something to eradicate these issues with this particular hardware configuration. There is no such problem with other mint releases except LMDE.

Try looking in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/dmesg for the errors, and paste them here.

Is this still an issue with the current LMDE release?
