Noticed that this had gone quiet but it's the error I now get. I had this problem with 2.6.28-13-generic on 9.04. My symptom was this: I would get the COMRESET message that everyone else gets, then the filesystem(ext3) would be automatically remounted as read-only. Eventually it wouldn't mount, citing "bad superblock". It worked under a previous kernel(the last RT) but switching back to that kernel didn't help either.

Since I didn't have any more time to throw at this, I did the quick-fix:

edit /boot/grub/menu.lst

find the "kernel" line of the in-use kernel.

add " noapic nosmp" to the end of the line.

Save, restart, pray.

Hope this helps someone. Not sure if smp and apic really boost the speed of a system in the way that anyone would notice, though.
