Comment 36 for bug 285892

please have a look to bugs: # 297058, # 397096, # 279693
linking together different hypothesis on hdparm, linut-rt, AHCI, HW failures,and so on... without a real way out of the bug.
Actually running karmic -rt on ausu A8J and the same issue still remains.
....seriously after 2 years of ubuntu and this issue persecuting this laptop in different ways since the beginning, I'm thinking to come back to windows...
Like many users I use this pc for many different home & personal works and bugs like this are unacceptable, since the very long time and releases passed by, without never really coming out of this issue definitively!
PS: I'm sure the HW of this machine is in very good state.
