Comment 0 for bug 239198

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop computer with core 2 duo processor E6550.
I have installed 64 bits Ubuntu 8.04 correctly from live CD.
When doin normal boot the first time, system hangs while showing ubuntu logo and the orange bar moving one side to another.
In order to see what happens exactly I tried to boot in recovery mode and the system hangs immediately after displaying:

/build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/HID/usbHID/HID-Core.c: v2.6: USB HID Core Driver

Afterwards, the system remains indefinitely in this state while showing periodically further messages as:

[48.752700] ata3.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x27)
ata3.00: failed to read native max address (err_mask= 0x4)
ata3: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs

The system does not bring up any shell.

I tried to disable USB from bios and the system boots correctly (but mouse and keyboard don't work, obviously).
