[Bug 880042] [NEW] System hangs when starting k3b with a VIA VT 6330 IDE-Chip

[Andreas Grois]

Public bug reported:

The summary says pretty everything. When I try to start k3b, the whole
system goes to Redmont. Since it also doesn't react to keyboard inputs
any more, the only way out is to press the RESET key. Since noone else
reported this problem, I assume that it's caused by some incompatibility
to my hardware. Both of my optical drives worked with k3b previously and
the only thing new is the IDE-controller they are attached to: a VIA
VT6330 chip on my Asus M5 A88-V EVO Board. Since k3b doesn't give any
console output and I don't know how to strace k3b (strace output stops
when the splash screen appears), I can't give any further details at the
moment. I've tried to start k3b from tty1 (DISPLAY=:0 k3b), what
sometimes actually works, but most of the time also crashes the system.
SysRq-Key combinations don't work after k3b tears down the system (yes,
I enabled them in sysfs before starting k3b and I tried Alt+SysRq+t to
see if they work).
