Soft Lockup, hdc: drive not ready for command

Lspci -vv

lspci -vvv output

This is a log that happened in a system crash.

Could this be the same bug as Bug #98670 ?

i have the same bug on my Asus A7T running Ubuntu 7.10 64bit!

Hi nomad, I solved the problem by replacing the optical unit. Perhaps you should try the same.

I have the same problem with Ubuntu 8.04 on a Thinkpad R30. The hard drive light stays solid and if I flip over to another terminal window I get the hdc: drive not ready for command line over and over. Seems to happen randomly, but I know its happening when bootup takes longer and the hard drive light is solid with no actual hard drive activity happening. Also, when this happens there is a blank disc icon on the desktop, but there is nothing in the CD-ROM drive. I'm using the 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP kernel and both my bios and OS are up-to-date. Anyone have any ideas?

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task.

Please provide necessary kernel debugging information for the latest Hardy.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.

This bug report is being closed because we received no response to the previous inquiry for information. Please reopen if this is still an issue in the current Ubuntu release, Jaunty Jackalope 9.04. To reopen the bug, click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the status back to "New". Thanks.

I'm pretty sure this is fixed already (see duplicate bug 98670).
