I never suggested that you buy something else.  Evidently you overlooked
my first reply to your problem, where I suggested that the problem might
be DMA and a buggy mobo (which is my situation).

To reiterate: Try compiling a kernel with the option "Enable DMA by default
when available" /disabled/.  If this seems to clear the problem, investigate
some of the docs and HOWTOs in the kernel source.  I was eventually able to
fix my setup with a combination of a recent kernel patch and the package
hdparm.

I cannot give you any other suggestions ATM, because you haven't deigned
to list /any/ of your hardware.  Since this seems to be a hardware-related
problem, the idea that anyone could solve it for you w/o hardware specicfic
information is ludicrous.

Do you know what chipset/drive you have?
