[Bug 217920] Re: Computer hangs up (freeze) and reports SATA errors during disk checking after reboot

[Barry Drake]

Right.  This seems to be the closest to what I'm experiencing.  I'm
using a Dell Inspiron Mini 10v running Lucid Netbook version (up to date
today).

When a forced disk check (fsck) ran at boot time, the system froze with
a value of 71% on the splash screen.  Disabling the splash showed that
fsck completed, and a further couple of lines of boot process were
output.  I have no record of precisely what these were.  Sorry!

For the moment, I've put GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="noapic, nolapic, noacpi" in
/etc/default/grub and run sudo update-grub.  Since then, the forced disk
check has occurred twice without freezing.  I had looked at plymouth bug
#554737 as behaviour here is identical, but I'm informed that if the
above grub instruction overrides the problem, it has to be a kernel bug
.... so I'm here.

I'm able to carry out any tests you ask, but have little knowledge of
kernel or grub behaviour.  I'm very willing to learn though.

Regards, Barry.
