Igor,
I really appreciate the efforts you're putting into solving this bug, however I think the changes you made to Lucid kernel brought different troubles to my system (Uli M1575 chipset), forcing me to file bug #591532 . The reason why I think that bug is related to this one is because:

1) I'm affected by this bug since Feisty
2) The DMA errors I get in bug #591532 started appearing with Lucid
3) The changes you committed to Lucid kernel strongly affect my hardware
4) If I follow Antonio O.'s tips about ata_generic, I don't get those errors (but I've double-checked with `hdparm -tT /dev/sdX` and write/read speed is really slow compared to pata_ali, I would say it's halved)

Please, I would really appreciate if you could have a look that bug, because I need to understand the source of those errors, and if you confirm it's really related to this bug, it would be one goal for me and for anybody affected by the same bug.

Thank you in advance,
