fixed this by adding "libata.force=noncq" to the grub config. i totally forgot that i did that with my first install. the laptop now boots in 7 seconds from the moment of the ubuntu password boot screen, to the desktop. before that it took way over one minute. it works every time!
i also use the v3.12-saucy kernel, that fixed the haswell cpu throttling to 800mhz. stock 13.10 is not usable on the vaio pro. let's hope 14.04. i will stick with this stable release/system. here's a nice list, what needed to be done to get 13.10 working on the vaio pro: http://steffankarger.nl/2013/12/10/ubuntu-13-10-on-the-sony-vaio-pro-13/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1265381 Title: [Sony VAIO SVP1321C5E] luks/lvm encrypted 13.10 installation doesn't reliably boot Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I re-installed ubuntu 13.10 x64 on my vaio pro, in legacy, bios mode. The installation is lvm/luks encrypted and thus asks me for the encryption password before booting. it does not reliably boot. i often have to try several times, those are the errors i get http://i.imgur.com/0ZAMCfT.jpg : "... alert! /dev/mapper/ubuntu-vg-root does not exist ..." and sometimes it "boots" without asking me for the password and then fails with http://i.imgur.com/Cu68SfN.jpg : "cryptsetup: cvms_activate is not available" this happened on my old install, i fully wiped the ssd and the problem still persists. how can i fix this? and does anyone have an idea, why booting takes over one minute? the pci-e samsung ssd reads with around 800MB/s that should boot in 15 seconds or less. my macbook with a slow sata3 ssd boots in 20 seconds, with full disc encryption. edit: crypttab http://paste.ubuntu.com/6673077/ fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6673078/ i didn't mention it before, but i used the defaults of the installer and didn't create my own partition layout. just install with internet and getting updates during the install, reboot into system, install updates and then i had the error, again, like in my previous install.
