I root-caused this to some sort of issue with the released version of hdparm (9.15 at the time of this posting).
After manually upgrading hdparm to 9.27, this message no longer appears during boot. Follow the links below to do the manual install of hdparm: 32 bit: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/hdparm 64 bit: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/hdparm Any idea when this fixed version of hdparm will be released to ubuntu 10.04? -- Disk error messages during boot in 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604138 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
