Dunkirk, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Problem with fakeraid (sata_nv?) driver

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have an Asus Striker II Formula motherboard, which has an nVidia-
  based "fakeraid" SATA controller. I have 2 hard drives striped with
  it's firmware. Across this stripe, I have both Windows 7 and Ubuntu
  11.04 installed.

  Whenever I reboot from Ubuntu 11.04, the computer has to reboot twice,
  whether I reboot back into Windows OR Ubuntu. Either OS will get to
  the point of loading the primary video resolution, then spontaneously
  reboot the computer AGAIN. If I shutdown from 11.04, and then
  physically restart the computer, the BIOS will come up to the point
  that the lights come on the keyboard, then it will spontaneous reboot
  again, from within the BIOS.

  Four times, now, my /home partition has gotten scrambled during the
  reboots, and needed an fsck. (Which was an enormous pain due to my
  encrypted home directory because dm_crypt doesn't like to let it go.)
  I was hoping that this was some sort of interaction with ecryptfs, but
  I took that off my home directory, and the problem happened again
  anyway.

  This does NOT happen when rebooting from Windows. This also does NOT
  happen when rebooting from Ubuntu 10.10. (I downgraded for a time, and
  the problem went away.) It would therefore seem to be a problem with
  2.6.38 which is not present with 2.6.36.

  I've tried loading vanilla kernels from the PPA. That repo's 2.6.36
  wouldn't boot at all. It's 2.6.37 doesn't cause the double-reboot, but
  it still scrambled my home directory (and that's when I removed the
  ecryptfs).
