Bug#604824: linux-2.6: problems with ata disk interface: temporary freezes

[fulvio ciriaco <oivulf@gmail.com>]

Hallo,
a long time has passed since I had the problem,
it must have been one of those weird bugs that
require cooperation of software and hardware problems
because the system was stable under gentoo but the problem
also disappeared when I changed my hard disk.
Sorry for the alarm, would you please close the
bug notification?
