I'm having this issue with a vostro 1700 and 2.6.22-14-generic kernel, i've read that it won't get fixed for this kernel, so i wonder what problems would arise in my system if i don´t upgrade to hardy kernel?? would my drive get toasted??.
Also i've found this patch that seems to solve the issue without the need of blacklist each model reported..
