Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

Apologies if this is a dupe, but besides bug 85484 which is still slightly different-looking, I see nothing that looks like this one; and 85484 appears to have been fixed with 2.6.20-12, while I'm using 2.6.20-15.

$uname -a
Linux obatala 2.6.20-15-386 #2 Sun Apr 15 07:34:00 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Boot is slow, with the following error text displayed every few seconds:

[ 23.676000] ata1.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
[ 23.676000] ata1.01: (BMDMA stat 0x65)

And this is sometimes accompanied by:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug does not meet the criteria for a stable release update and is being marked as Won't Fix for this particular version of the kernel. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .
However, the issue that you reported is one that should be possible to test with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Gutsy Gibbon. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed kernel. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ .
If you do decide to test with the development release of Ubuntu please comment on this bug report and include at least the minimal information requested at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
