yemu, could you please comment as to why you could not test the mainline
kernel?

** Description changed:

  I created new bug after being asked in another buug report:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550559
  
  the system randomly freezes for a couple of seconds and then I see errors in 
the log.
  ...
  ata6.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x1fffff SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen
  ata6.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED
  ata6.00: cmd 60/08:00:d0:d4:e6/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 4096 in
  res 40/00:01:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
  ...
  and so on
  
+ WORKAROUND: To disable NCQ I added "libata.force=5:noncq" to default
+ kernel options in /etc/default/grub like this:
+ 
+ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash libata.force=5:noncq"
+ 
+ and updated grub.
