Public bug reported:

lsb_release -rd :
Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:        8.04

uname -a :
Linux srv01 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

The problem started with Ubuntu 8.04 (I didn't have problems with
previous versions ... Ubuntu 7.04, Ubuntu 7.10).

I have a PC with 1GB RAM and 2 HDs (IDE... 40 MB ... "QUANTUM
FIREBALLlct20", SATA 120MB ... "SAMSUNG SP1213C"), my Linux is in the
SATA disk.

I have run diagnostic tests on both disk ... both disks are Ok.

The problem is that the SATA disk ramdomly freezes for 30 seconds
(aprox) when i try to use it (Ex.: copy files, launch programs, etc). It
seems that the problem occurs only when the IDE disk is being used by
other programs.

The "/var/log/messages" file shows :

On previous versions of Ubuntu "hdparm" never showed errors or warnings
... "HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed"

---------------------------------

I guess it is a bug, but if it is not... does anyone knows how to solve
the problem ??
