Bug#275302 should be resolved in kernel-source-2.6.8 2.6.8-8 /
kernel-image-2.6.8-1-* 2.6.8-5.

There was a fix to the piix driver that should have resolved this in
kernel-source-2.6.8 2.6.8-8 / kernel-image-2.6.8-1-* 2.6.8-5.
Are you able to test that? It _should_ work on both the systems above.
Reports to the contrary are welcome.
