[Bug 1073391] [NEW] Incompatible with Marvell's SATA controllers with an SSD attached

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

My controller is a marvell 9123 and the SSD is a Corsair Neutron 240GB.
The drive is brand new and because I thought it was a drive issue, I
exchanged it against an other brand new one at my retailers. So the
drive isn't the issue.

First install went fine, but when I tried to install some packages using
apt, the / file system got mounted read only. I tried to reinstall and
got the same issue during installation.

WORKAROUND: Disabled NCQ by adding "libata.force:noncq" to default
kernel options of the installer.

After the install, I added "libata.force=7:noncq" in /etc/default/grub like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash libata.force=7:noncq"

and updated grub. I used "7:" because errors I saw occurred with ata7
info in dmesg.
