It may be a few weeks before I can run tests with the very latest kernel. Also, since finding out that the linux-image-lowlatency package works, we haven't done much more testing, but it was still having problems on the generic kernel the last time we upgraded to a new version of Ubuntu about half a year ago. We also still haven't tested with a hard drive to see if the problem exists there as well or if the laptop only has the problem with that particular SSD.

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. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
