Is anyone even caring about this fucking bug ?!? Two monthes that it has
been filed, and still open, still flagged as "New" and even still of
"Undecided" importance while the solution is so well-known !!! (I didn't
have access to the computer up to now)

The problem is related to the libATA. It is likely to be related to
Intel's combined mode, however I found the solutions listed on libATA
website only after solving the problem another way.

I suggest people to feedback after testing solutions given here : http
://linux-ata.org/faq.html#combined

If it doesn't work (as I said I didn't test myself, found it too late), then 
try with "my" (actually well disseminated on the web) solution : add those 
lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist :
blacklist pata_atiixp
blacklist pata_acpi
blacklist sg
blacklist sr_mod
blacklist sd_mod
(NB : it was not necessary for me to blacklist sg and sd_mod, but I had 
problems only with my DVD recorder)

/dev/sdX will become /dev/hdX and UUIDs will change, so don't forget to
change entries in /etc/fstab (and maybe /boot/grub/menu.lst) and swap's
UUID in /etc/initramsf-tools/conf.d/resume (and to "update-initramfs -u
-k all" after this latter operation). [Reminder: "blkid" for knowing
UUIDs]

Old perfs (hdparm -T) : 
 Timing cached reads:     2 MB in  2.39 seconds = 856.86 kB/sec
New perfs :
 Timing cached reads:   1028 MB in  2.00 seconds = 514.25 MB/sec

Thanks guys.
