Okay, ignore the "quiet splash" comment. This seems to happen randomly. Some times I can boot and some times I cannot.
I was able to catch more of the messages when the error occurs: ata1.00 qc timeout (cmd 0x27) ata1.00 failed to read native max address (err_mask=0x4) ata1.00 failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 sec ata1.00 failed to read native max address (err_mask=0x4) ata1.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5) The point that this occurs in the boot is right before the line "* Reading files needed to boot" is displayed. Also, this is BIOS 1.0.3 for the Dell Vostro 200 desktop -- ATA Revalidation Failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206635 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
