I had problems like that with a sis chipset and ran the cerberus hd test
on the drive for one week flat on the drive trying to destroy it (if it
doesn't work at all you don't get BS form the warranty guys) but didn't
succeed.
This was about 6 month ago.About 3 month ago happened the same thing
again. It affects only the ext3 partitions.I tried now with reiser for
/ and it works fine so far.
