The system is more I/O bound locking briefly from time, than it is with older kernel versions and swamping the logs with ATAPI errors. The problems is most noticeable in playing songs from the hard disk, there's a lot of short pauses/hickups at the moments the system freezes. Strangest of all is the first probing of the IDE interface ide0 returning all models absolutely correct, as shown by this excerpt from dmesg: [ 29.597238] Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2 [ 29.597241] ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx [ 29.597647] Probing IDE interface ide0...
