Comment 61 for bug 125702

Thanks Steve,

I just tried the patch, now there are only a couple io error messages shown at shutdown screen, compare to a full page of io error messages.

Here are the steps I have taken:

1. create a ubuntu 9.04 live USB drive from windows using the batch file from pendrivelinux.com (using 3GB persistent file)
2. replace /casper/initrd.gz with the patched initrd.gz, provided by Steve
3. restart the computer and boot with the USB drive.
4. install patch software (sudo apt-get install patch)
5. apply the second part of Steve's patch with the added quote. (see attached file)
6. reboot

the following error messages were shown at shutdown screen.

------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 226.987862] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 31447
[ 226.987915] Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 31384
------------------------------------------------------------------

the patch definitely cleared up most of the error messages but not all of them in my case.
