Comment 2 for bug 432497

The interesting bits I'm seeing in the syslog are pasted below. It seems like the SSD drive is starting to go bad or has gone bad. The reason I also believe this is because Stefan has the same exact system with an SSD drive and has been able to install and run the latest Karmic without issue. Was this working relatively recently?
