I too experiencing this bug on Ubuntu 10.10 Kernel 2.3.35-22 Motherboard: ASUS M4A87TD/USB3: DUAL DDR3,SATA 6.0GB/s, USB 3.0 Processor: AMD PHENOM II X6 1055T (2.80GHz/9MB CACHE/AM3/) Disk: 640GB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD6402AAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)
I have successfully installed Maverick from a USB stick. Thereafter, normal boot aborts in initramfs with "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxx does not exist. Dropping to a shell", as reported by sdedgar, where xxxxxx is the uuid of my root filesystem. Booting in recovery mode, I get messages: ata4: softreset failed (device not ready) ata4: softreset failed (device not ready) ata4: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata4: softreset failed (device not ready) ata4: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbp ata4: softreset failed (device not ready) ata4: reset failed, giving up At this point, at the shell, if I do: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid I will get a no-such-file-or-directory. But if I then repeat the command 5 - 10 times, the directory will appear, and xxxxxx will be listed. -- Softreset failed (device not ready) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285392 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
