Post #273,942 by lincoln 11/26/06 4:15:28 PM Reply	Is that a bug with Firefox or something in the way Firefox interacts with Ubuntu? lincoln "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow Never apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem. I am not merely a "consumer" or a "taxpayer". I am a *Citizen* of the United States. [link\|mailto:golf_lover44@yahoo.com\|contact me]

Check [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=272814\|this] thread for the details. If you're worried about it on your hardware, try the live CD for a while to see. Cheers, Scott.

But the `iowait` hang is still happening. I'll just keep my eyes open for new kernel or filesystem options. === Kip Hawley is still an idiot. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #274,281 by Another Scott 11/28/06 9:03:01 PM Reply	It was seen in x86-64 kernels too. [link\|http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-394.html\|Ubuntu Forums]: [...] So I tried the usual disable ACPI and APIC to see if that resolved any issues. In my case disabling APIC did nothing and disabling ACPI made it so my system would not boot. It would freeze loading the orinoco_pci driver. After a bit of googling I came across a post of a Fedora user with the same motherboard having the same issues. He said to put this in the Grub.conf file at the end of the kernel line (/boot/grub/menu.lst on Ubuntu): noapic pci=usepirqmask Having placed this in my menu.lst file and rebooting my heavy load IDE DMA reset issues are gone. [...] Read the whole thread - maybe some of it applies. HTH a bit. Cheers, Scott.
