[Bug 353812] Re: Multiple ATA Exception Emask, NCQ disabled etc during boot

[Donn Morrison]

Hi, I am having this issue on an Acer Aspire 1810TZ with a fresh 10.04
install (kernel version 2.6.32-19-generic #28-Ubuntu). Boot is very slow
and dmesg shows it is stuck after mounting the root partition with
messages as described in the original report.

I resolved the problem by changing from AHCI to IDE in the laptop's
BIOS.
