Bug Description

Sometimes, more often when I use no particular high cpou-demanding applications (firefox, Evolution.... or games), the CPU usage raises to 100%, used by "Latence E/S"(in French. I think it is sth like "I/O Wait" in English)

Sometimes, I can settle it by pressing Alt+Syst+f but i'm not sure that it is this keybinding that settle the problem.

I encountered a similar problem under Dapper, with an optimized 686 kernel, and now, under Edgy, I hav the libc6-i686 installed.
