How do I find out what is on sda1?
I am not dual booting, I only have Linux Lite on the laptop. I installed it with an external USB, but I don't need it anymore. Yes, it was windows originally.
I even google to try to find out if I have fast boot disabled in the UEFI, but I didn't find anything very friendly.

I don't know if it helps, but I typed sudo fdisk -l and the result:

Re: system initialization with error: ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) - stevef - 12-20-2022

Does the system have any other SATA devices - maybe a CD/DVD drive ?

Please can you post the result of

Code:
journalctl -b | grep ATA

Looking at your fdisk...
LL is running on the Hitachi - assuming the USB drive.
sdb1 - is a left over non needed...
sdb2/3/5 are the EFI and LL "/" partitions
*Most likely as [member=5916]trinidad[/member] mentioned taking a moment to read the disk...


sda1 - EFI partition on the internal hard disk
sda2 - Windows partition; I'd assume C: due to the size... but??




Have you FULLY installed LL on to the computer (using the install process)? or are you still testing the Live Environment - aka booted the iso? or are you using the USB with persistence?
- If you dont know what I mean... Thats ok...
My assumption is you attempted to install LL and inadvertently installed onto the USB drive...


If we think this is the case - no worries we can get you back around and install onto the hard drive.




If you have any files you want to keep - back those up else where.

The Hitachi is the computer's hd. On usb I have Seagate (backup).
Ow .. have a windows partition? But I don't have windows anymore...
Yes, I completely installed the LL, I installed it through .iso with an usb .. but the usb is kept for safety, I read somewhere that it is good to keep it.

Ahhhh, did I install LL on the USB? I just restarted without the external hd (usb) and it started LL normally. What a scare! But no, I did not install the LL on the usb.  :022:

hhhm - ok good stuff - thinking it in another direction from [member=9039]stevef[/member]  which hopefully helps in his direction..


With the USB disconnected and you reboot - Do you receive the error message still?
Also, if you do either the lsblk or fdisk, does the hitachi (internal disk) now show as sda?


My thought...
Perhaps with USB connected and it having an EFI directory, perhaps its cycling/reading taking a moment and generating the error....
If the error persists - perhaps not ...

Re: system initialization with error: ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) - stevef - 12-21-2022

emil

If you are still getting similar messages please post the result of

Code:
journalctl -b | grep ata2

Code:
lsblk -o NAME,Model,HCTL

After any BIOS display, most new installs usually hide all the linux boot up messages with a splash screen.  If the splash screen is disabled there will be many messages scrolling past.

When exactly does the message you report appear ?

The message appears just before starting LL.

Re: system initialization with error: ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) - stevef - 12-23-2022

During boot up the system is checking for devices connected by ATA.
The Hitachi drive is found on ata1.
ata4 and ata5 appear to be unused.

For ata2, it tries a few times, then tries at a slower speed and then gives up but doesn't appear to log the port as down.

Does your system support removable media in any way ?
There's no CD/DVD drive being identified - does the system have one ?
Does the system have a slot for a memory card perhaps ?

From what you've told us so far, I don't think this is anything to worry about but it would be interesting to find out what's going on.
