Once I got X running again I was able to search for similar issues.
Seems this is not new:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/206635

Similar, if not same hardware as mine.


This one is similar:

With a pointer to:
http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.04/Issues/USB-SATA_race_condition_causes_hang

I have not tried that (I'm not running 7.04) but indeed the ATA errors
happens right after the line about starting USB.

Anyone know if that fix would apply to 8.04?
