Substantially same results; boots OK with nomodeset, otherwise hangs with similar errors. In none of these cases do I find any of the sata related errors in the log files if I boot with nomodeset. Am I correct in my understanding that nomodeset forces the kernel to use a generic VGA driver instead of any kind of graphics acceleration? Seems like that would be an xorg issue, but could be kernel I guess. Not sure why it would have any effect on SATA hardware? Seems like file system corruption would not affect three different installs on 3 different devices (one sdd and two usb sticks) from 3 different downloads, but I may be missing the point. Now, bad graphics hardware, that seems like it might do the trick, but I would think it would show some kind of problem under win8, which I haven't observed. Wish I had a second similar machine to test it on; might be able to exonerate the hardware at least, but alas I have but the one. Please advise if there is any other info I might be able to provide, or if y'all still think I need to file the bug against the kernel SATA driver.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
