I've applied the patch, it does not improve the things. The problem seems to be related with a DMA : [root@debian-f5ibh] ~ # hdparm -iv /dev/hda2
/dev/hda2: multcount = 1 (on) IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 8 (on) geometry = 3649/255/63, sectors = 29302560, start = 9767520 HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument
[root@debian-f5ibh] ~ # hdparm -d1 /dev/hda2
/dev/hda2: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Invalid argument using_dma = 0 (off)
