This problem affects me too. However, its different, it only affects USB devices on the same IRQ as the SATA_NV driver:
23: 786792 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci_hcd:usb2, sata_nv In my case, that OHCI_HCD (usb hub) is actually an external hub built into my monitor. Once I moved my mouse and keyboard away from that hub, they were no longer affected by this issue. (However, I still get the issue, and the computer freezes up while its doing the soft reset). It seems pretty random, and I scanned for bad blocks on the HDD (badblocks) and found none. The other thing different is that for me it didn't completely freeze the mouse, but it did lower the sample rate to like 2hz, so the mouse moved very slowly (and typing was very delayed). -- Lost ata interrupt, usb hid (mouse keyboard) freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576496 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
