Re: Timeouts on ICH7 PATA drive with ata_piix; ide_generic works perfectly

From the dmesg, I found a problem NOT relative to the PATA driver.
I would like to know if cpu freq driver works? If not, please enter a
acpi bug on bugzilla.kernel.org.

I just upgraded the kernel on my System76 Gazelle laptop (basically an
ASUS Z62FP without the Microsoft tax) and the hard drive began
freezing every few minutes. I blacklisted ata_piix and the problem
went away, so that really narrows down where the bug has to be. Here's
the relevant part of the dmesg:

Complete dmesg and lspci -vvx are attached; please CC me because I'm
not subscribed. My sincere apologies if this is already fixed in the
main kernel.
