           Summary: kernel 2.6.12-10-686 & 386 causing disk to constantly
                    spin and computer to hang
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kernel-package
        AssignedTo: ben.collins at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: me at davidandrewtaylor.co.uk

Since the upgrade to version -10 (both 386 and 686 versions) of the kernel (Version -9 doesn't cause the  
problem so I am using that) the HDD will start to spin up then the desktop will freeze and it will continue  
frozen with HDD spinning until I reboot using the plug. This will start anytime during computer usage  
(generally after I open a whole load of webpages (not in any particular browser as konqueror, Opera and Firefox  
has caused the fault and not with any paricular website as going to them again doesn't cause the fault)).  
  
I am using ReiserFS.  
It affects my Celeron 900Mhz HP Vectra  
Hard Drive - "Model=IC35L120AVV207-1" a little cryptic it's a Hitachi Deskstar  
82815 815 Chipset and Host Bridge (onboard intel bits) 
Everything else is Intel 82801AA Chips
