Hans,

According to the 2.6.17-rc1 change log http://lwn.net/Articles/178178/:

x86_64: Remove CONFIG_UNORDERED_IO
---

I also found this http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git-commits- 
head&m=114331040427723&w=2:

[PATCH] x86_64: Remove CONFIG_UNORDERED_IO

It was a failed experiment - all benchmarks done with it on both AMD
and Intel showed it was a loss. That was probably because the store
buffers of the CPUs for write combining traffic weren't large enough.

I suppose this means that if the problem turns out to be related to  
that configuration option, then there would be little need to change  
anything as it is to be removed in the next release.

Thanks,
Brian
