While using ubuntu16.04 my laptop got hanged.After restarting it was kept on hanging and in text mode It was showing error

sata1 exception emask 0x10 sact 0x0 serr 0x40400000 action 0xe frozen irq_stat 0x00400040, connection status changed.
Satalink hard reseting

So I tried installing 18.04lts But grub was failing to install. I tried installing using MBR and GPT both with no success. Thinking that it may be hard disk fail I Checked disk for error from live boot pendrive and it shown no errors or bad sectors in HDD

smartctl output image

I tried changing live pendrive with 2difrrent iso images but still grub installation was failing

Some one suggested to clean hard disk terminal so I did cleaned it and now it in live boot mode

The output of

dmesg

Dmesg output image

And as you can see in above image it is showing diffrent error

It is clearly not bad HDD or bad iso image issue

  • What brand/model system? What video card/chip? Are drives set to AHCI mode in UEFI, not RAID, Intel SRT nor IDE? Unless RAID 0. – oldfred Jul 18 '18 at 17:35

  • Are you using nomodeset boot parameter? You need that until you add nVidia proprietary driver from Ubuntu repository. http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it Older version of Ubuntu but same laptop: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2232124 The nVidia driver: https://askubuntu.com/questions/61396/how-do-i-install-the-nvidia-drivers – oldfred Jul 19 '18 at 14:45
  • I turned off Nvidea device from bios – Mangesh Divate Jul 21 '18 at 09:04
  • May be best to see details, use ppa version with your live installer or any working install, not older Boot-Repair ISO: Post the link to the Create BootInfo summary report. Is part of Boot-Repair: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Info and: https://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ – oldfred Jul 21 '18 at 13:32
