Possible ATA errors with kernel 6.12 on Asus K50IN

sata1: interface fatal error typically indicates a transmission error of some kind - either in the cabling, the connectors (on the mainboard or the disk/device) or a failing controller.

To rule out the disk as the culprit you could swap it out for another, and monitor whether or not the errors return.

Try re-seating your cables and see if that makes any noticeable difference; if not, consider replacing them completely.

It’s also possible that a SATA connector is damaged, or loose-fitting, in which case moving the disk to another SATA port might produce favourable results.

Check for all these scenarios.

Regards.

Be prepared to provide outputs from various commands when asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.

Waiting for others to blindly ask questions can be counter-productive – typically, nobody has a :crystal_ball: at their disposal – Instead, please help others to make informed suggestions, based on information you provide.


Update Announcements

The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.


System Information

While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly; :eyes:

Output of the inxi command (with appropriate parameters, and formatted according to forum guidelines) will generate information useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form (preferred):

inxi -zv8
