Description of problem: Since kernel 2.6.26.5-28.fc8 my system is very slow. I.e. windowmovement seems to lag. And if I start glxgears, it nearly looks like a system freeze, but some presses of Ctrl+c and waiting some minutes kills glxgears and the system works again (but still slow). At every start of the computer I get the suspicious error hda-intel: Invalid position buffer, using LPIB read method instead. from the kernel. And the message (older kernels) ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) changes to ata3: softreset failed (device not ready) but I don’t know, if this has something to do with the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.26.5-28.fc8 How reproducible: Restart the system, log in and move windows on the sceen (very slow and hanging/lagging). Steps to Reproduce: 1. start computer 2. move windows around or start glxgears (for extreme slow performance) Actual results: System is very slow. Expected results: System should be at normal speed. Additional info: My temporary solution is to use an older kernel (2.6.26.3-14.fc8).
Created attachment 319953 [details] /sbin/lspci -vvv This is the output of /sbin/lspci -vvv on my system (output was created using the older, functioning kernel).
I forgot my system.

Now with Kernel 2.6.26.6-49.fc8 it works again without any problems. Don’t know, what was the problem.
