Hi,
I installed ubuntu 9.10 (64 bit) on a new lenovo thinkstation D20 with Intel Xeon processors. I installed ubuntu one week ago. after running fine for a couple of days, the screen froze and I had to reboot. The startup then stalled following choosing the Ubuntu version to load in GRUB and showing me an error message something like:
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for...
I then re-installed ubuntu and it ran fine until a couple of hours ago when the same thing happened again. Now, the error message says:
ata_id[461]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-block-8:16'
Could anyone help please? I don't know what that means and couldn't find infos online.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
