Subject: sata io freeze, 2.6.18 and also 2.6.24

Hello,

I've been having consistent hard system freezes for a
long time, every 2 days or so, and finally decided to
move to the most recent stable kernel. Unfortunatelly
that didn't fix it. The freezes seem to be io-related;
they started since I moved my drive to sata. They seem
to happen mostly when there's an io-intensive operation,
like extracting a big archive; a reboot is needed.

Nothing ever shows up in the logs.

I'm using the following drive:

ATA device, with non-removable media
        Model Number:       MAXTOR STM3160215AS                     
        Serial Number:      6RA2TMJ4
        Firmware Revision:  3.AAD   

Linux localhost 2.6.24.4 #4 SMP Fri Mar 28 14:51:50 BRT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

This is a 2-processor CPU:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo 
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 4
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
stepping        : 9
cpu MHz         : 3013.697
cache size      : 1024 KB

(same goes for processor : 1)

Sincerely,
