Comment 25 for bug 153702

I can confirm this as well, if it will do any good. i noticed this around a month ago and hoped that it would be fixed before the Hardy release, but seeing as we are 3 days away, i dont think that will happen. i am running a Dell Inspiron 530 with a SATA drive. The boot process begins and as it reaches the "loading hardware drivers" stage, i get these error messages:

[timestamp] ata1.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5)
[timestamp] ata1.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5)
then these repeat over and again:
[timestamp] ata2.00 exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
[timestamp] cmd a0/00:00:00:24:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 pio 36 in
[timestamp] Status {DRDY}

( i typed those from a written account because I dont know how to get the actual report...)

i filed a bug report a couple days ago because i was getting fed up with waiting. i will mark it as a duplicate of this bug.
