[Bug 574462] Re: udisks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM violations

[Wes Harper]

Yeah I have this problem too.  I have a Eee PC 900 / Linux with the 4G
onboard and 16G socketed drives.  I'll skip the dmesg since it's
identical to others posted with the Eee PC.  I would like to note that I
first disabled hdparm and it worked as a workaround until I ran update-
grub (grub2 on 10.04 UNE). Now in addition to disabling hdparm I have
disabled the smart probe and now there are no more 30 second hangs.  I'm
not sure if they would return if I just enabled hdparm again.. but my
guess would be yes.  On an earlier installation I reduced the hangs by
making sure I set the bios to "start" until I finished the installation
then set it to "finished", but I'm not sure if that is related.  Before
that when I installed with the bios set to finish, it hanged frequently
even after boot, but after when I changed the bios the errors would only
occur right after getting to the desktop and starting an application.
After the initail group of 3 or 4 hangs it would never do it again until
reboot. I wonder if grub2 is somehow related to this.  Or the padding at
the beginning of the partitions.  This is all on Ubuntu 10.04 UNE.
