[Bug 638434] Re: Freeze on Toshiba NB300 without external interrupts

Tue Sep 21 00:58:05 UTC 2010

I can confirm this bug.

Toshiba NB200 - Bios ver. 2.10
Kubuntu Maverick 10.10 Beta - completely updated as of today.

Problem still exists (and seems to have worsened for me)

One work around that was not mentioned: Setting Toshiba Bios setting :
SATA Controller to Compatibility lessens the problem, but does not
resolve.

The issue seems to arise from a Bios-level HDD parking mechanism that
makes the harddisk park when the computer is 'idle' the only issue is
that it does this when the computer is not idle.  The alt-button or
mouse movement tickles the HDD back into action.
