I have motherboard with nforce 590 SLI (MCP55) chipset.
On other systems all its ok.

But i tried a lot o kernels, configurations and always get cpu at 100% when
copying files.
I use SATA II samsung hard drive.

There is my lspci

iowait != cpu busy.  Your cpu idleness stays above 80%.

Ok ...... but one of my CPU core are at 99% usage ....
htop report this ....

So how to solve this problem ?

The red part of cpu usage bar represents 'iowait' not cpu usage.  Fire 
up both top and htop and pay attention to 'Wa' value in top.  You're 
just confused about how the graph is drawn in htop, nothing wrong with 
your system.

I have noticed something that might be related as well.  I am working 
on a device driver that would have periodic data errors due to 
exceptionally long interrupt handling latency.  I have come to the 
point that I suspect that it's the sata_nv driver, and now that we 
can't do the hdparm -u1 option for sata, it seems to be a bigger 
problem.

That's mostly off topic.  libata configures DMA if at all possible and 
fallback to PIO only after a lot of serious errors.  Is your drive in 
pio mode?  Or does it happen even when in dma mode?

There were reports that an read of the interrupt status register on the 
sata_nv controller could take a huge amount of time (something like 14 
milliseconds as I recall). I don't think it was ever really established 
what was causing that big delay (there was speculation it was trapping 
into SMM mode, but Nvidia denied that one).

In 2.6.20 kernels we use a different operating mode, ADMA, on the 
nForce4 chipsets which usually avoids using that register.

Apply the -rt kernel patch and enable the latency tracer, it will tell
you what code path is responsible.

It's a 2.6.18 kernel.  What we're seeing (by means of the interrupt pin 
on another card) is extremely large interrupt latency (measured from 
the time the interrupt pin goes low to the first couple lines of code 
in the IRQ handler to clear it) occasionally, in the order of 500-700 
microseconds.  I figured it was some other driver on the system 
disabling irqs for a long period of time, but it's difficult to trace 
what might be doing that.

What kernel are you using? There were some complaints about latency 
problems (the ATA status register read taking a ridiculous amount of 
time to complete) on sata_nv previously, but 2.6.20 should eliminate 
that problem at least on nForce4 chipsets..
