I've tried this on debian too - the same result. The prestory is pretty ling one.
I've been using Suse 10.2 for 2 years installed on the built-in drive (this for office use) and I was booting from USB drive a debian system at home.
I've got a new wider screen at work and Suse 10.2 did not manage (in fact the X server that comes with it) to get the notebooks disppplay together with the external one working, so that's why I decided to install kubuntu, cause it seems to be optimesed for desktop (notebook).
On the usb drive I was using a custom 2.6.26 without ata/sata compiled and recording/playing/compiling works fine
I tought it's nice to upgrade a bit but got stuck with this ugly slow down.
Then I installed the debian 2.6.26 on debian and it worked better (also with sata as module) so that's why I installed it on kubuntu too. It works the same there, but still on both installations it slows down a bit also with the debian prebuild

I didn't mention the system type because behaviour is the same. Kubuntu does not offer 2.6.26 (last time I've looked at was few days ago) and I have few things that I'm missing in 2.6.24, which comes with kubuntu

Yes I need a good advice to track it down, cause everything looks fine with 2.6.26 (though there is a little slow down), but with 2.6.26.5 it's impossible to work.
I repeat it's absolutely the same config file, so may be it's a compiler issue or alike, what do you think?
I could take the config from the 2.6.26 without sata and compile again and see what happens but I'm wondering if tehre is not a better way to track it down.
thanks in advance
