Strange. With 8.04 I just needed to add 'irqpoll' in the options when my PC booted from the CD, and then install Linux. After that, I didn't need to do everything and since then Ubuntu works fine (I didn't need to add 'irqpoll' in GRUB, just in the menu which is shown after booting from the CD)
And I am 200% sure that 'irqpoll' didn't help when i used 7.10. Fortunately it works now! ;) -- ata2.00: exception emask 0x0 sact ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223014 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
