Comment 4 for bug 532733

sadly all versions of qemu system-arm expose this in lucid ...

over the weekend i tried all qemu.-system-arm binaries we have in the archive going backwards in history up to the first karmic version ... i also tried the versatile kernel we used to use in karmic (which worked fine during karmic for i.e. installing the ubuntu-desktop task)

i'm solwly starting to suspect that something in the lucid userspace causes these disk I/O hangs, i will:

a) do some tests building a karmic under lucid userspace now
b) start a script in a qemu arm VM under lucid that will do endless loop reading/writing to see if it hangs at some point
