if a userspace application is able to trigger this issue I would say this is a kernel bug since that is exactly the sort of thing the kernel is supposed to be managing. No userspace application regardless of how poorly written should be able to trigger a drop from UDMA to PIO.
I have tried jaunty with a 2.6.32 kernel and it works fine. I was going to try installing karmic and upgrading it to 2.6.32 but I wasn't even able to complete the installer. It failed to mount the ext4 / partition due to numerous HSM faults -- SSD stall during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445852 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
