I'm new to the world of Ubuntu. Installed Ubuntu 14.04LTS yesterday on a Lenovo Ideapad Y580 and till now I already recognized, that Lenovo is a bit infamous for this problem.

So when I boot up the laptop he gives me the error ata2.00 failed to enable aa and an error mask in brackets.

I surfed a bit around and it seems that the hard drive advertised something for it it doesn't have or isn't activated.

I'm always getting a black sreen after booting and I already saw this threat, but I dont know how to use it or get the command working because when I boot in the shell to have a root command line it wont work.

Also I clearly don't want to give up the performance by deactivating ncq. I know I'm asking for a lot but can somebody please give me an instruction how to get the drivers set up to get the fpdma working or am I doomed? the numbers before the lines are always the same... hhd information moreinfo

So first of all i fixed my own problem ( a lenovo ideapad y580 ) by formatting the disk ( for information see the hdd information image in the question) and then doing a full erase with a seatools for dos bootable cd. Then i set the sata controller in the bios from "ahci" to "compatible" and reinstalled ubuntu 14.04 lts from the live cd. Now it mostly boots up fine, but i sometimes need to go into standby with the power button of the laptop after logging in, because the screen then sometimes still goes black. But after reactivating the laptop from standyby, ubuntu does work :) Hope that helps somebody too, but these solution might only be possible with the same hardware specs and as you can tell, it isnt the best solution at all...
