I am testing a system with various distributions. It seems that kernels later then 4.14 are causing timeouts specifically in combination with my new Crucial SSD BX500 (480 GB). This already happens during installation, especially when installing Grub. Later it happens incidentally at random and becomes less frequent over time. The internal SATA is set to AHCI.
Note that there is no trouble with kernel 4.14 or with other HDD or SSD drives. Also none of these symptoms with Windows 10 or for example KDE neon.
Any ideas what the reason could be and why this happens specifically with newer kernels, v4.19 and higher versions and only when using my Crucial SSD BX500. Thanks in advance.
