Dainaccio, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional 
upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, 
but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, 
please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is 
fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For 
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next 
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please 
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  "port is slow to respond" error freezes OS for seconds while reading
  HDs

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Sometimes, while reading data from HD, my OS hangs for about 15 seconds (gray 
window and no feedback).
  The problem started with Gutsy but in Hardy it'is very frequent and makes 
Ubuntu almost unusable.

  The PC is a notebook Acer Aspire 5630
