Hard drive hangs with latest kernel on gutsy

[Fabien Chaillou]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-10-generic

From time to time when doing some intensive work such as installing new packages the computer hangs for about 10 seconds.

I got this messages in the kernel logs that indicates that it restarts my hard drive :

Oops i just saw that my problem is described in bug #84603 so i am marking this one as invalid (didn't find a duplicate entry instead !)
Sorry for the noise
