lately i tried an older kernel, 2.6.15-23-686 that I could download from ftp://ftp.port80.se/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.15/ .
It seems to be stable on my edgy system (I did'nt get any "ata1 is slow to respond"). The same kernel on dapper kept on freezing up. -- ata_piix problem with Intel ICH7 chipset https://launchpad.net/bugs/53754 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
