ata problems slow down system

Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.27-3-generic-di

hello there,
since latest kernel upgrade, i got this problem continuously in /var/log/syslog (see attachment)

this errors slow down the system with every application you're using (that uses hdd, i guess..) and i can confirm this is not present in the 2.6.27-2-generic image (testing is as easy as rebooting the system)

if you need something else, just ask

ok, seems i've been just too fast, i'm having this issue also in -2 kernel, but with different bits

programs i'm running: firefox, deluge, xchat, emesene

[Riccardo 'c10ud' (c10ud)]

seems firefox is the responsible of this frequent locks, because seems i don't get them while it's closed O_o"

[Riccardo 'c10ud' (c10ud)]

ok this is definitely firefox' fault...i get it while opening/closing tabs... the issue is still present with -4 kernel update

[Riccardo 'c10ud' (c10ud)]

seems that just doing "rm -rf *" ~/.mozilla/firefox/<youprofilefolder>/Cache did the trick...

oh damn man..! i guess this bug is closed!
