Btw, recently I have built another system (mobo ASUS M3N-H/HDMI, CPU Athlon X2 4450e (2 cores), chipset GeForce 8300, SATA controller 10de:0ad4 rev. a2 (MCP78S AHCI controller) driven by 'ahci', and 2 Samsung HD753LJ SATA2 disks united into mdadm RAID1 array as explained initially). Its monthly check (with kernel 2.6.24-19) has passed without any soft lockups. So the problem is dependent on 'ahci' module driving only certain hardware (Intel so far, who knows what else, but not everything).
Unfortunately I could not meet a will around me to test all this hardware with unstable/prerelease kernels and distributions. Usually everyone wants to run there a stable software to be sure in. -- RAID1 data-checks cause CPU soft lockups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212684 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
