I wasn’t certain of the effect of the firmware downgrade. But I found a way to check that it really set SATA bandwidth back to 1.5 Gbps:

$ cat /var/log/dmesg | grep Gbps
[    0.800530] ahci 0000:00:0b.0: AHCI 0001.0200 32 slots 6 ports 1.5 Gbps 0x3 impl IDE mode
[    1.330097] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[    1.330112] ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[    2.280096] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[    2.290110] ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)

So now I have no doubts: my MacBook Pro is doomed.

Just followed these instructions this afternoon to downgrade my firmware to EFI 1.6. This doesn't solve my problems at all ! It's really time to trash this MacBook Pro. Anyone to suggest a good laptop that works fine on Kubuntu ?

6 months later, I've:

updated MacOS X from Leopard to Snow Leopard,
upgraded Kubuntu from Karmic Koala (9.10) to Lucid Lynx (10.04),
changed my HDD to a SSD (a 160 Go Intel X25-M Postville).

Still, my machine crash hard. I now suspect problems with the MacBook Pro's SATA controller. After all, my machine always freeze on high I/O load (disk backups, video transcoding, etc.). Wait. I remember of Apple pushing a new SATA firmware one year ago. Let me google this... Bingo ! This is a firmware issue ! I knew it !

Hi Kev,

I’ve tried to use your plugin but got some issues when importing from e107 to wordpress

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /sitehome/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 302

Do you have any idea?

Thanks in advance!
