I have an acer aspire 9400 computer which uses the intel 915pm express
chipset. I am attempting to run ubuntu 6.06 on this computer which uses
the 2.6.15-26-386 kernel. All seems to run splendidly for approximately
a half an hour until everything freezes. I noticed the following
popping up around this time:
[17181439.692000] ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x64
[17181469.692000] ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x64

[17181529.692000] ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0xd0/00 to SCSI

[17181619.692000] ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x64

I have been running several different linux packages on this computer
just to check them out and noticed similar stability problems with suse
10.1. I didn't notice this same problem with fedora, though. I also
haven't noticed any stability problem from windows on this computer.

I am unsure at this point whether this is a hardware issue or a
software issue. I guess what I would like to know is whether anybody
else has been noticing similar problems or might have a suggestion as
to what might be done to solve this problem. Some research has
suggested this might be a kernel error. Does anyone know if this might
be true? If so, has it been corrected in more recent kernels?

If it happens after running about a half hour, I would suspect a heat
problem.

If it wasn't so warm out today, it would be cooler.

I'll have to check that out. It seems to run okay under windows and
fedora so maybe ubuntu isn't regulating heat as well for whatever
reason. You're right though, it is strange that this error pops up
after a half an hour of running. I'd expect to have seen it when
installing ubuntu or starting up if it really was a hardware or kernel
issue like I had suspected.
