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

[Andrew Simpson]

Carrying on from above:

Here's how to patch and install a system safely from the LiveCD (or live
USB) of Ubuntu 9.10.

I booted up the LiveCD and patched the live system as above.  That made
the live system safe to use.  I then installed from the LiveCD (no
errors - good).

However instead of immediately rebooting, I patched the SSD from the
live system:

$ sudo mkdir /target

(In my case it already existed from the install)

$ sudo mount /dev/sda1  /target

$ sudo chroot  /target

You are now in the new (SSD) system as root, but safely running on the
patched LiveCD.  Follow the steps above, but leave out 'sudo', because
you are root.  When finished you can leave chroot by:

# exit

------------------

Edit on previous comment:

$ sudo /lib/udev/nano devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart (or some other editor
of your choice)

-- should read:

 $ sudo nano /lib/udev/devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart (or some other
editor of your choice)
