I have a Sandy Bridge laptop with an SSD (Intel G2). On startup and resume, I get a ten-second delay or so, COMRESET failed, and then the disk comes up. On Windows, or in compatibility mode, or with libahci.skip_host_reset=1, the disk comes up instantly. I have a similar problem on a Q67 desktop machine with a different brand SSD. One of these systems has ATA security enabled, and the other does not. I have this problem on 2.6.38 and 2.6.39, and I'd be happy to test patches or other things. good: [ 0.662024] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: version 3.0 [ 0.662035] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: PCI INT B -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 [ 0.662091] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: irq 42 for MSI/MSI-X [ 0.662119] ahci: SSS flag set, parallel bus scan disabled [ 0.662128] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: skipping global host reset [ 0.664096] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: AHCI 0001.0300 32 slots 6 ports 6 Gbps 0x13 impl SATA mode [ 0.664105] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: flags: 64bit ncq sntf ilck stag pm led clo pio slum part ems sxs apst [ 0.664117] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: setting latency timer to 64 [ 0.668557] scsi0 : ahci [ 0.668630] scsi1 : ahci [ 0.668687] scsi2 : ahci [ 0.668741] scsi3 : ahci [ 0.668797] scsi4 : ahci [ 0.668852] scsi5 : ahci [ 0.669236] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0x92628000 port 0x92628100 irq 42 [ 0.669239] ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0x92628000 port 0x92628180 irq 42 [ 0.669241] ata3: DUMMY [ 0.669241] ata4: DUMMY [ 0.669244] ata5: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0x92628000 port 0x92628300 irq 42 [ 0.669245] ata6: DUMMY ...
