[James Cuzella <TrinitronX@xxxxxxxxx>]

Apologies for not responding sooner (I get waaay too many emails and
have filtered automated mailings like the ones sent by launchpad to
Gmail labels which generally never get looked at).

After upgrading to the next LTS release (12.04) I believe I stopped
seeing this bug.  Upgraded since to latest LTS release of 14.04, and
still not having this issue anymore.  Just for the record, I believe
this can be called fixed!

Title:
  Softreset failed (device not ready) with Gigabyte motherboard

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I originally reported this in Bug 285392.   However, I'm not sure that
  this is the same bug, or a different one with the same symptom.

  I am seeing this problem on a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 motherboard. I
  have tried changing the BIOS setting for both AHCI and IDE modes. I
  get the same error upon boot.

  After a reboot I have been seeing this error randomly all the time.  Sometimes it seems to work ok, sometimes not.
  I have done 2 dist-upgrades from Lucid (10.04.2 LTS ) to Maverick ( 10.10 ) to Natty ( 11.04 ).  This bug has been present in all of these versions of Ubuntu.

  Boot messages follow:

  The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present
  Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
  [ 1.740026] ata3: softreset failed (device not ready)
  [ 1.740032] ata6: softreset failed (device not ready)
  [ 1.740058] ata5: softreset failed (device not ready)
  [ 1.740062] ata4: softreset failed (device not ready)

  init: udevtrigger main process (467) terminated with status 1
  init: udevtrigger post-stop process (471) terminated with status 1
  init: udevmonitor main process (466) killed by TERM signal
  udevd[453]: specified group 'camera' unknown

  Ever since Lucid, there are 2 problems with this motherboard that I've
  been having:

  1) It doesn't seem to boot correctly from the first HDD if USB-HDD or CDROM are anywhere above in the boot priority list
  2) Every so often I still get the "softreset" and "The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present" errors (This is random.. it's usually /home, /, or whatever other partition happens to complain).

  AHCI vs IDE modes in the BIOS don't change anything. I'm guessing it's
  a Gigabyte motherboard issue, or something to do with the ATI SB7x0
  chipset. So far I haven't tried compiling a new kernel with
  "CONFIG_SATA_PMP=n" yet... but that seems like it might work...
