Comment 136 for bug 285392

I have the same error Ubuntu 9.10 AMD 64 bits on AMD ATHLONx2 processor
I have 3 disks : 2 for windows vista and 1 for ubuntu

on linux 2.6.28-16-generic : softreset failed on ata1 and ata3 and boot goes on fine. The system runs fine
on linux 2.6.31-14-generic : boot loops on "ata1.00 failed to IDENTIFY, I/O error err-mask = 0x4
         system never starts, endless
on linux 2.6.31-15-generic : same as 2.6.31-14-generic

So I am stuck on 2.6.28-16-generic version
Seems to be linked to the 2 non linux boot drives ??
Could you help me ??
I need to follow the upgrades of ubuntu

Thanks
