Comment 14 for bug 387272

I got exactly the same problems as reported here with a Eee 900. Starting with long boot times (due to ata errors), and after some use time I got a completely dead installation after using hibernate (grub unable to load).

I hope the computer is not bricked, as I didn't have time to try a new reinstall, but I agree this bug shall become critical and all eee 900 owners warned to avoid Ubuntu 9.10 installations until this is clarified.
