[Bug 965863] Re: 11.10: ata1: Link is slow to respond

 

Matthew Stapleton, 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>

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. 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-v3.13-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:
  11.10: ata1: Link is slow to respond

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

Bug description:
  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.

  WORKAROUND: linux-image-lowlatency package with Ubuntu 12.04 as that
  has CONFIG_HZ=1000 which appears to work without any problems.
