O.K., Reviewing what we do know:

Scott has suggested providing system information, however this already seems to be listed in this bug report and in the upstream bug report.

He has also suggested trying different kernels to isolate when the problem started. This is what we have been doing, HOWEVER comments #75, #76 & #87 have now all shown that something in 'Karmic' is the problem - and not directly the kernel version. Have we been chasing the wrong problem?

We can rule out ext4 and NCQ from comments #79, #87 and #88.

While I would agree with Scott that 'userspace applications' shouldn't affect the kernel, it does appear a 'userspace application' is affecting the kernel.

I can confirm that Mandriva 2010.0 (after several weeks of use & lots of checking) does not have this problem.

My own experience and comment #80 confirms that Fedora 12 does have the problem. I have searched the Fedora Bugzilla and can't see a bug report there. It would be good to file a bug there. One of the Fedora kernel devs has been commenting on the upstream bug report.

What is different about Mandriva 2010.0 compared to Karmic and Fedora 12? Anything of note other than upstart?
