Apparently fixed in 2.6.16.10 upstream; wondering if it could be backported to the Dapper kernel.

I should add that I searched both Ubuntu and Debian bug archives and could find no reference to either this problem or the kernel bug ID.

The problem manifests with logs like:
ide-cd: cmd 0x3 timed out
hdc: lost interrupt

After this occurs the IDE bus is totally hung until a machine reset.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you still have this issue with the latest release of Ubuntu?

[Jérôme Guelfucci (jerome-guelfucci-deactivatedaccount)]

Anything new on this ?
