	Well with 2.6.1-rc2 Kernel works great, i dont have any kind of problem,
with 2.4.24 i dont try, i gonna try.. today or tomorrow... then i post the
results, but i use it with 2.4.20-gentoo-r9  (gentoo sources) +
i2c+lm-sensors, and it work with no problem at all...
	This is whenni try loading first i2c-viapro and then w82781d and the when i
unload the modules..  the problem persist..
	Without ACPI support in the kernel it happen the same thing...  no mother
whitch module i load first, when i load the 2nd module, stuck... if you want
i send you the dmesg, and code of this test.
	Now i going to download the 2.4.24 Kernel, and then i try with it and send
the results.

Tested this on my own system with similar hardware (as far as i2c is
concerned) under 2.6.1-rc2. I did not experience any slowdown.

Could you please provide the following information:

* Output of "lspci -n".

* Can you reproduce the problem with a 2.4.24 kernel and i2c+lm_sensors
  2.8.2?

* Can you reproduce the problem with a 2.6.1-rc2 kernel?

* Can you reproduce the problem without ACPI support enabled into your
  kernel?

* Does the slowdown affect only the hard-disk drive?

* Does the speed come back to normal if you remove i2c-viapro?

* Does the slowdown occur if you load i2c-viapro before w83781d?

Yeah, I know, this is much work, but we need a hint to start digging.

Thanks.
