Ello all.
I am using a Toshiba Satellite notebook, and I was hoping to install Kubuntu (had a great experiance with Ubuntu back with Hardy heron), so, I downloaded the ISO, installed via USB, and now my system hangs on boot.
When boot into recovery mode the system hangs on
[2.16066] ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
eventually it continues on and spits out
[6.675194] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 159373496907 ns)
[10.045028] ata4.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorpCDW/DVD TS-L462C, T011, max UDMA/33
after a bit of research I've seen that people have been able to fix it by tweaking the BIOS, however, with this being a laptop, the bios is almost criminally limited, with no options for how disks are identified. The HDD is a SATA disk.
any help would be much appreciated.
