[Bug 991040] Re: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) on Intel SSD

 

cue, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/precision-m6600 an
update is available for your BIOS (A15). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  COMRESET failed (errno=-16) on Intel SSD

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On my fresh Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Precision (Ubuntu certified right?) with a premium
  Inted Server SSD I am forced to make the following experience.

  During boot I have to wait for 20 seconds due to the following
  scenario:

  Excerpt of dmesg | grep ata:
  [    7.718628] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
  [   12.365148] ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
  [   17.723437] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
  [   22.369960] ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
  [   27.728248] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
  [   57.398789] ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
  [   57.398800] ata1: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps
  [   57.718702] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)

  After that the Intel SSD is connected in limited SATA1 mode to the
  system. :-(

  The same SSD works on the same machine just fine under windows 7, 
  thus I think one can exclude hardware issues here.

  I assume that any further information is attached by the 'ubuntu-bug
  linux' command to that issue.

  
  Please help, as I would like to decrease my boot time from now 1 Minute a bit further AND most important of course I want to use a SATA mode that is capable of deliver data as fast as the super expensive drive can do it also under Ubuntu!

  Thank you for your work!
