Hello Borislav,

Thank you for that hint to finally start figuring out how to switch
from IDE to LIBATA. It took me a while but it was worth it.

No kernel panics anymore using libata & pata_it8213 & sr_mod! :)

Well, I would have thought that showing the same kernel panic with the
call traces showing the oops in the same functions over and over again,
no matter whether the kernel is tainted or not, had made it obvious
that the tainted status doesn't matter. Pity I couldn't get Nouveau
working with 2.6.34. But running a single monitor setup for days just to
wait for the randomly occurring crash wasn't an option. But yeah -
I wish I didn't have to use the closed-source nvidia driver either.

Anyways.. Thank you very much again for taking time to look into this.
I hope you'll find the cause. Let me know if anything comes up that you
would like me to test or try out.

Cheers,
Marc
