I have the same problem with an old HP XE3 and intrepid kernel 2.6.27-9.
When updatedb runs, it freezes everything, openoffice starting time goes up to five or ten minutes.

output of ,,lspci -vv'':

I tried to blacklisting ata_piix, but cant find alternative driver:

sudo bash
echo blacklist ata_piix >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local
echo pata_oldpiix >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
echo pata_mpiix >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
echo ide_generic >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
echo ide_cd >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
echo ide_disk >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
update-initramfs -u

please help :)
any ideas?
