Here's a fresh dmesg. Recalcitrante - did "hdparm -d1" etc work after modifying the kernel? I am not a programmer (some may have guessed...;) so messing around with the kernel is a bit like a layman performing brain surgery. So. Should I wait until there is an official fix, or attempt to learn the black art of kernel building from scratch?
Here's a fresh hdparm -Tt, followed by smartctl --all (for good measure):
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 522 MB in 2.00 seconds = 260.48 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 112 MB in 3.13 seconds = 35.76 MB/sec
(A bit sluggish in my book)
