Hi, Thanks for the workaround. I too have this problem on my laptop after a fresh Hardy install. Hardware details: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/CompaqPresarioV2600CTO
A few points: - this is a regression of sorts. I did not have this problem with Gusty, but do have it with Hardy 32bit. - this also affects writing cds/dvds. When writing a disc, my entire system slows down to an unusable crawl without the workaround. I just tried writing a dvd with the workaround and it was perfectly fine. - A dvd that I wrote yesterday was corrupt, so the slowness is more than just annoying- it causes errors with writing. So this is a pretty serious bug that affects basic functionality. I hope it will be prioritised accordingly.
