system initialization with error: ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)

<< < (2/6) > >>

stevef:
Have you noticed if booting with/without a card in the SD slot makes a difference to the error message ?

If the error message appears to be associated with either state of a card being in or out, repeat several times to check if it is consistent.

Does your system support removable media in any way ?

Yes, I use an external USB hard drive without any problems.

No, this laptop does not have a CD/DVD drive.

--- End quote ---
Yes, SD card, and it's working.

I really appreciate the info.
Yes, I agree... it would be nice to be able to understand what's going on, but apparently it's something complex.

stevef:
During boot up the system is checking for devices connected by ATA.
The Hitachi drive is found on ata1.
ata4 and ata5 appear to be unused.

For ata2, it tries a few times, then tries at a slower speed and then gives up but doesn't appear to log the port as down.

After any BIOS display, most new installs usually hide all the linux boot up messages with a splash screen.   If the splash screen is disabled there will be many messages scrolling past.

When exactly does the message you report appear ?

The message appears just before starting LL.

Did you find something here? The message, if not identical, is very similar to this one.
