I was having the same problem as you guys. It started with Feisty, like two months ago or so. Everything would slow down or even freeze (not always the mouse).
I stopped using the computer as I thought the hard drive was dying, but then, one week ago I used some app in the Ultimate Boot CD that found some errors on my hard drive and it let me erase it all in order to repair it (this tool was specific for my Hitachi hard disk). It took a while, but now everything is working fine. I had Feisty/WinXp before (never booted Windows, though) and now Gutsy/WinXp (idem). Smartctl says the test is PASSED, too. -- gutsy kernel is causing data-loss.somehow related to SATA (media-error) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151938 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
