ata5: COMRESET failed (errno=-32) old iMac broken disk

cn flag

I have a 5,1 iMac with a broken internal disk. After many attempts I got a working installation of Ubuntu 20.04.03 on an external USB drive.

The boot is very long due to a repeated message:

COMRESET failed (errno = -32).

dmesg | grep ata reports:

ata5: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0x88305000 port 0x88305200 irq 27
...
ata5: COMRESET failed (errno = -32) 
ata5: reset failed (errno=-32), retrying in 33 secs
...

I need to skip any check over broken disk.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
