[Bug 445852] Re: devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM Violations on SSD, and potential hardware death

Sat Apr 3 17:32:41 UTC 2010

I've got my old bricked Asus EEE 900 at my house for the weekend. Both
SSD's are ostensibly dead. I've loaded Ubuntu 10.04 Beta1 on a USB and
can't install it without an Input/Output Error during the format. So
much for the new kernel fixing the problem. Zeroing out and
"unlocking" is the same. I've even taken the 16GB out and tried to
have it read in a Windows machine. I've tried everything. You guys
keep saying it's not really dead. I assure you that it behaves like it
is every time I poke it with a digital stick. It came from trying to
install the early Karmic release on both SSD's after the first one
failed. It's not physically damaged, it came directly from my
persistence trying to make this damn thing work installing and
reinstalling.

I've got the 900 for another day or two. I sold it to a friend with a
Ubuntu running off an SD card. I'd like to get it working for him
before I give it back to him tomorrow.

> In the Karmic beta I experience ssd stalls during the boot process.  It happens almost everytime before xsplash loads and happens again frequently between logging into gdm and the desktop loading.  When it happens during login I think it is making gnome time out on loading panel items as I get errors related to lots of panel items failing to load.  If I log out and back in again when the ssd isn't stalled the panel items load fine.
