re: "Does this happen when you are trying to install Ubuntu and/or
booting from a LiveCD? If so, can you see if this also happens with the
latest Trusty daily build, which can be downloaded from ..."

LiveCD (or, in my case "live flash drive")  worked correctly, but of
course it did not use the hard drive, so if sata problem is responsible
for this, it would not be apparent. problem only showed up when
installing, i tried several times and never succeeded (sometimes it just
hanged, sometimes casper displayed a failure message).

then, after trying other releases and my older hard drive i discovered that the old ubuntu (like 10.10) handles both disks without problems, and the old disk can work with any ubuntu, new or old.
only the "new disk" on "new ubuntu" combination is fatal.

this reminded my of "libata.force=noncq" that was needed for correctly handling some SSD drives.
it turned out that it also helped in my case, so now i have working 13.10 (which opens another bunch of problems, but that's another story)

i also filed a bug in the kernel bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72621

ok, i'm going to try Trusty, too, however, theoretically it should not
work ;-) (if my theory is correct)
