I'd like to add a nice little me too to this bug. I have a system76 gazelle as well. I can say that 2.6.20-11-generic worked fine, while -12 and -13 exhibit the behavior above. Though I believe -11 uses the older non-libata driver. For now I have -11 set to be my primary kernel and I boot into the latest whenever I see an update to check if its fixed.
I also tried the cd in drive thing and it seemed to work for me. Once I took the cd out I got a freeze within a few minutes. -- Hard disk I/O randomly freezes when hald is running and optical drive is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
