    As with Ububntu, after 2-3 days of normal working, the system just stop to respond and I needed to press power button until shutdown.
    After that, the computer starts without harddrive (SSD), stopping with no system found after tryed to boot from ethernet. If I boot from USB pendrive, there is no harddrive on the computer...

    I found my error: ata2: device not ready (errno=-16)
    The some happened with UNR and with Crunchbang (both Ubuntu 9.04 based)

    This is strange, and I would suggest some real configuration error or even a real hardware problem... Did you ever flash the bios? What version of bios do you have?

    BIOS v3310.
    The computer worked OK with Linpus. Linpus is not that bad... but without a Upgrade Server working is very much outdated... so I wiped out Linpus and installed UNR and this happend with UNR. Then I went back to LinpusLite, and it worked just fine. I tried Fedora13 LXDE spin and there it was this problem again...

    That seems likely to be a hardware or bios problem. Perhaps the SSD connector isn't seated properly.

    It seems to be a problem with the SSD. The computer went to Acer. Accordly to the salesman his AAO had the some problem and Acer replaced the SSD.
    Now I need to wait 30 days the most...

    With your new SSD, journaling shouldn't be a problem. If you want to use Ubuntu or Fedora on your SSD but don't want journaling, you can always use tune2fs to turn it off

    With my new SSD I'll have no problem? How do you know that??? There was a bug on the old one?

    A110 and A150 are both ZG5 models use the same bios. I have not seen reports in the forum of problems with ext3/ext4 filesystems on either the A110 or the A150, and I have experienced no such problems with my A150. Therefore, if Acer truly fixes your A110, you should experience no problems with ext3/ext4.

    However logical the above argument may be, YMMV. Good luck!

    Back and running UNR last version. Let's see how it goes this time...
    SSD seems to work fine, but OS seems a little bit heavy for the small AAO
