Subject: Vertex2 SSD - ATA Timeout with Ext4 but not Ext2
I have a new Vertex2 Solid State Drive. When I try to install any distributions using EXT4 (or LUKS with EXT4). My hard drive times out during the 'file copy' process. (OpenSUSE 11.2 for example would crash after the 2nd file of X11. Other distros get a bit into the install before it gets 'read-only' errors.)
DISTRO'S ATTEMPTED:
Ubuntu 10 - x64
Debian 5 - x64
PCLinuxOS 9 - x32
CentOS 5.4 - x64
OpenSUSE 11.2 (Linux 2.6.31) - x64
OpenSUSE 11.3 - Build 0625 (Linux 2.6.34) - x64
Attempts:
-If I use my Seagate 1TB drive I can install just fine to any EXT4 partition. (Same SATA cable and SATA controller port)
-If I use the EXT2 filesystem on my Verex2 SSD I can install any distro.
-Windows 2003/NTFS also installs fine to the Vertex2 SSD.
-Writing random 'dd' data to the entire SDD returns no errors.
-Upgraded EVGA motherboard BIOS to latest version (P33) didn't help.
-Installing the OpenSUSE 11.2 OS to my HDD, and then copying files from the HDD to the Vertex2 causes the same I/O timout/remount in read only errors.

Can anyone tell me why EXT2 is fine while EXT 4 is having troubles?
What kind of further tests can perform?
