Xubuntu 12.10 similar error. Popped up recently--I've been having problems with memory and paging, so I ran memtest86+ from menu. My optical drives weren't detected--system kept polling them till they weren't. Rabbit TV required much memory--deep paging using WinXP.

Had recently ordered two bigger sticks (2X4GB Wintec DDR3 1600) to replace Kingston XMS 2X2GB DDR3 1600--installed earlier today, auto settings: Same error. I'm going to try to reset the CMOS jumper, then set optimal settings . I'll relate results.

Sys does run markedly better--doesn't rely upon heavy paging much anymore; optical drives detected again and work nominally after new mem installed. (I was worried about SATA ports.) Sys is not so "challenged" as before.

I don't think that this is an OS problem--memtest loads before that. Systemsuite 14 for Windows does "optimize" memory--this requires a reboot to enable--I do reboot and wait patiently for XP to load again.. It seems that that shouldn't be relevant....
