I have changed cables, but I was stubborn and stuck it in the same SATA port. I am going to change this. I don't think it's going to work, but I will try, after I test kernel parameter "libata.force=1.5Gbps" - UNFORTUNATELY, CONFIG_SATA_PMP="n" *DOES NOT WORK* to fix this issue... it is only a rumour in some Fedora forum I read. But I did manage to compile a brand new kernel with that option turned off. Minutes later, there was the system hanging up again!
Here is a list of what I did: [X] TURNED HDPARM OFF [X] CHANGED CABLE [X] EXPERIMENTED AHCI & RAID MODES [X] DISABLED NCQ [X] COMPILED KERNEL WITH CONFIG_SATA_PMP DISABLED [X] TRYING NOW LIBATA.FORCE=1.5GBPS [ ] - to be done - try different route. -- ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x807f SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285892 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
