I posted with apport-collect some logs about this problem that I am experiencing at every boot with ubuntu 10.04 (in the past using the 2.6.28 kernel this bug was not present).
I think that the most useful information may be found inside dmesg and I wold like to share with you also this other pice of dmesg that I odtained with exactly the same configuration, but is showing up only sometimes (I mean that this is not always reproducible and I don't know why it happen only sometimes): [ 6.084048] scsi2 : ioc0: LSI53C1030 B2, FwRev=01000e00h, Ports=1, MaxQ=222, IRQ=32 [ 6.479811] alloc irq_desc for 33 on node -1 [ 6.479817] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 6.479833] mptspi 0000:04:03.1: PCI INT B -> GSI 33 (level, low) -> IRQ 33 [ 6.479972] mptbase: ioc1: Initiating bringup [ 27.793024] mptscsih: ioc0: attempting task abort!
