10.10 64bit AHCI hosed

[boomertsfx]

same problem with my T3500 as well ... of course it (10.10) works fine in a VM but not on the bare T3500

+1 for having this problem with a T3500 and booting from older kernel as a workaround

I am experiencing the same error message on my MSI 790fx-gd70 based system. Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit has been my first run at using any Linux based platform, so my knowledge does have some glaring holes. I am wondering if maybe this problem is chipset specific?

My MSI 790fx-gd70 has AMD SB750 and JMicron JMB322 SATA chipsets. Currently my atempts at installing Ubuntu are residing on the AMD SB750 chipset. I will attempt the 10.04 workaround this evening. What I find odd is that Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD has no problem with AHCI. Why not just use those drivers? Let me know if additional information is required.

Well, it appears the 10.04 workaround also works on my SATA chipset (AMD SB750). I am bummed about not being able to run 10.10, but at least I have some form of Ubuntu running. If there is anyone working on the problem, I have access to 5 computers that I can test on and would be happy to help out on this issue.

I hope to see us all in 10.10 land soon.

That's the spirit!

If there is work going on on this bug, it will be stated here:

I am sure that people will appreciate some testing, when a proposed fix is released.

I echo Volleyrca and the others:
+1 for having this problem with a T3500 and booting from older kernel as a workaround!

Is there something being done on this??

I am also having the same problem on the T3500. It looks like there is a fix that is completed:

I'm experiencing the exact same problem since I upgraded to 10.10 over a month ago. An old Lucid kernel (2.6.32-25) has kept me going since then, but I can't keep that up forever. My system is a 32-bit Ubuntu on a 64-bit Dell Precision T3500 desktop.

This has been going on for over a month now, I really hope this will get fixed soon...

FYI: the new kernel (2.6.35-23) I pulled in this morning did _not_ fix the problem.

I believe we need 2.6.37 - from the bug report:

@Bjorn: tested 2.6.37-rc1 from yesterday's Linus git repo and it works fine on my T3500 (2.6.34 to 36 had the above problems). So good fix.

I'm having the same problem on my px58D Premium board. I updated the BIOS and now on boot-up, the SATA3 disk isn't picked up. I used blkid to verify this.

This isn't a problem with the BIOS because my WIN7 installation picks up the disk fine (maybe win doesn't blow so much )
