Neat, resource starvation is usually an IDE issue...

Some of the time, this is due to a hardware conflict.  The machine still 
manages
to run, but not well.

More often it's a simple case of starvation; device B is hogging so much of
resource 'foo' that device A never gets to touch it.  Perhaps DMA in this case?
I usually see this when a modem/PPPD and sound card are fighting over the ISA
bus (yes, happens on my box, although it got better in 2.2).

So... More hardware details and kernel version please?
