Comment 74 for bug 267913

(Sorry for the wait...)

I can now confirm that the error message:

[ 31.958964] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.

is still appearing in my 'dmesg | grep hda-intel' output, as of this moment. I'm not experiencing any further problems with massive IO wait, regarding my hard drives, but the system is still a bit sluggish, compared to my Windows 7 installation on the same PC (but on a different drive). I intend to run another badblocks test on my Linux system drive (500GB SATA) to make sure that it's not having problems, but last I checked, it was fine.
