thanks a lot, I did the same and now I can access my sata drive at under 2.6.20.16 without irqpoll and with no performances loss. I love ubuntu, it makes me able to promote linux among my friends, I hope this serious bug fixed soon, this distribution has got a good reputation and it is a pity upsetting so many user. Thanks to all mantainers and volunteers
PS attached cat /proc/interrupts of the new config
