Comment 40 for bug 213639

Not trying to offend, but I just wasted a few days running into mysterious freezes.
Switching to the old IDE via82cxxx driver fixes this.

May I suggest blacklisting pata_via and including via82cxxx ?
It would save people with VIA controller a lot of trouble!

I am willing to test, the problem is easily reproducible,
but the kernel in comment 36 does not even boot.

For more information about my setup have a look at my
upstream bugreport:
