I attached some more information. I'm using the ata_piix driver for my PATA 
disk and cdrom drive and booted with hpet=force. Kernel 2.6.23.X has been 
patched with the -hrt patches to enable the hidden hpet time on the ICH4-M 
chipset. I just rebooted the notebook and mounted /tmp again as ext2 and now 
the iowait problem is back. Seems to be reproducible on my computer. What 
additional information do you need?

regards,
Jörg
