  I have a friend who is getting ata1: Link is slow to respond on an Acer
  Aspire 5560G laptop and an SSD with Ubuntu 11.10 (latest updates as of
  27 March 2012) and 12.04 beta1 livecd at bootup.  Once this happens the
  laptop has to be power cycled to get the SSD working again.  On Ubuntu
  11.04 and previous versions and System Rescue CD kernels the laptop
  boots without any problems.
  
  The SSD is a AR120GBE and the AHCI controller is 1022:7804, subsystem:
  1025:059f
  
- Have also tried adding libata.force=norst libata.force=0:norst libata.force=1:norst libata.force=2:norst to the grub boot option although not sure if that is the correct set of parameters.
