Comment 106 for bug 550559

Two years later and still nobody assigned?

I did not have this problem with 10.04 installed around feb 2011. I never upgraded the kernel and it ran fine. Yesterday i decided to go for 12.04 and the problem appeared. Tried going back to 10.04, but the only version I get my hands on now, 10.04.4, also seems to have the problem.
A lot of googling later it seems that lot's of people have this problem, not just in ubuntu. No simple solution in sight it seems. I have checked my drives and cables.
