Hello, I noticed this bug when I bought my new laptop and used 2.6.18. Today I am running Debian Sid and running GNOME nivanson@pet:~$ uname -a Linux pet 2.6.21-1-686 #1 SMP Sat May 26 16:14:59 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux and this bug is still here. On random intervals the hd-access freezes for about 30 seconds. Sometimes it freezes 10 seconds after the un-freeze. This makes my system very hard to use. However... I know two workarounds for this bug, the first is to keep a disk in the cd/dvd-drive. While a disk is present there, I get no freezes. The second one is to specify acpi=off at boot. That also removes all freezes. This bug also seems to appear in Ubuntu Feisty according to launchpad. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/104581 -- Nils Ivanson (nivanson@gmail.com)
