Another "constant" I have changed since this problem initially occured here
is a BIOS option labelled something like "IDE Prefetch...". This was set to
ENABLED by default, but I set it to disabled at the same time I also
disabled softupdates. Since afterwards the system seemed to run more
stable, I will now have to find out which change (IDE Prefetch or
softupdates) made the difference.

Greetings
Nils
