    ATA bus error

    Hello,

    Today I downloaded Kali and tried to install it next to my Windows 7 installation. After I downloaded Kali I burned it to a DVD and booted from that DVD. After I chose "Graphical Install" and some time waiting (the whole screen black), I received the following error:
    Code:
    [	33.019464] ata9.00: exception Emask 0x52 SAct 0x0 SErr 0xffffffff action 0xe frozen
    [	33.109836] ata9: SError: { RecovData RecovComm UnrecovData Persist Proto HostInt PHYRdyChg PHYIn

    [	33.020566] ata9.00: failed command: IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE
    [	33.020832] ata9.00: cmd a1/00:01:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 tag 0 pio 512 in
    [	33.020832]			res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00:/00 Emask 0x56 (ATA bus error)
    [	33.021538] ata9.00: status: { DRDY }
    I tried again and got the same error. Also the 'normal' live mode and the 'failsafe' live mode did not work (I didn't note the error). The checksum was right and the burning program verified its own work when it was done.

    I downloaded the 64-bit ISO via the torrent. The exact file name is "kali-linux-1.0.6-amd64.iso".

    Additional info:
    • CPU:
      Intel i7-3770k
    • Motherboard:
      Asus Maximus V Extreme
    • BIOS:
      UEFI (version 1903, the latest)
    • RAM:
      Corsair Vengeance 8Gb DDR3-1600
    • Graphics card:
      AMD HD5450
    • Hard disk:
      Western Digital 1TB (I don't know which one exactly)
    • Other:
      LG CD/DVD drive
      ICIDU memory card reader


    I don't know how I can fix this problem, can anyone help me?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    I' ve found the solution: I had both my hard drive and my DVD-drive connected to Asmedia SATA ports. I switched both of them to the Intel SATA ports and suddenly everything worked!
