Yes for sure. It was funny, that I read the discussion about dma exactly when I was wondering if it's normal that the disk is so slow and sysstem so loaded

Hm, I think the dell notebook I haveeee is pretty widely used. I think the problem is with the hardware may be, or?

Yes, that's  what I  mean may be the problem is not in k3b but what the system reports is my second bet.

I don't know exactly. I was thinking of a kind of wiki, as I've seen many such lists.
Collect some data and investigate. We may find a pattern i.e. subsystem, distro and hardware.
I'm interested to know if may be similar devices trigger this.
