Hi I've had my eye on this thread for a while. Can't decide whether my [very annoying, and varied] problem is the same.
BACKGROUND I have an 64 bit version of Ubuntu Feisty with 2.6.20-16 (previously), IIRC on a self-made desktop machine with a Core2 duo, and recent nvidia graphcis card. It has three SATA disks, cos I had such a nightmare getting a RAID-1 array to be bootable on SATA (strange UDEV problems, I decided) that I gave up and boot off an older SATA disk. I also got / am getting IRQ #16 disabled problems, randomly - sometimes after 10mins, sometimes 2 hours. A kernel message would appear, then pretty much everything would die, although some non-network processes could live (eg mpd) But because of the strange problems I upgraded to Gutsy kernel hoping that would sort this out (it did, a tiny bit), now giving me a system based on: Linux 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 05:28:36 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux The symptoms have changed with this kernel - now the machine lives on after the IRQ dies, but is very VERY slow over network (a LAN ping takes about 200-900ms!) presumably because eth0 is, well I don't know really. Furthermore, the DVD-drive goes mad, light flashing and some weird messages in dmesg (see attached). Also, about one in three boots fail with /dev/md0 failing to mount and emergency shells and so on. Normally another reboot will magically fix this but not always Any ideas? I'm no linux expert, and this is driving me mad. The prospect of using it as even a home server is ruined by all this.. Many thanks in advance.. ** Attachment added: "latest dmesg" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10049264/dmesg.txt -- SATA disk is in PATA mode with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (piix claiming SATA controller on some U100/ICH4/ICH5/ICH6/ICH7 Intel chipsets) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116996 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
