Apologies for not responding sooner (I get waaay too many emails and have filtered automated mailings like the ones sent by launchpad to Gmail labels which generally never get looked at).
After upgrading to the next LTS release (12.04) I believe I stopped seeing this bug. Upgraded since to latest LTS release of 14.04, and still not having this issue anymore. Just for the record, I believe this can be called fixed! ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/810791 Title: Softreset failed (device not ready) with Gigabyte motherboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/810791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
