I don't have this computer any more, so I can't test this. I gave up on
it as there seemed to be no workaround on quick fix. (I traded it with
my kids' computer so I wouldn't be bothered by the bug, then gave it
away when I get a new computer.)

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).
