20 to 40 seconds pause during the boot on 12.04
- by Vilmantas Baranauskas
I've just installed new ASRock B75M-ITX Mainboard and fresh Ubuntu 12.04 on it.
During the boot, there is a 20 to 40 seconds pause when goa-daemon is starting (/var/log/syslog):
Jul 7 11:13:28 sirius goa[1933]: goa-daemon version 3.4.0 starting [main.c:112, main()]
Jul 7 11:13:51 sirius kernel: [ 102.771893] ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen
Any ideas what is wrong and how should I proceed trouble-shooting this?
EDIT:
Thank you for the tip regarding ATA. I've found following in the logs:
Jul 8 10:54:20 sirius kernel: [ 6.007532] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
Jul 8 10:54:20 sirius kernel: [ 10.648618] ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
The problem vanished when I've reconnected the Intel G1 SSD from SATA3 to SATA2 connector.
