--- Comment #8 from [email protected] 2010-01-05 17:48:57 --- I'm afraid that PC has now more serious HW problems (bad caps, replaced them but still doesn't work right) which makes it difficult to test. I can hardly keep it up running for long without a complete freeze right now. I use it as a DVD player plugged to my TV until it completely dies...
The PC had serious HW problems that's for sure; the actual bug in the kernel was that hdb (a CD-RW drive) DMA was being disabled when the conflicting device was the Hard Drive at hda (an 40GB HDD).
Note the linux kernel correctly identified the malfunctioning HDD drive, it just disabled the wrong device.
If I am able to update the latest kernel to that machine, I'll post it here
