In the machine which was recently upgraded to 6.2 using "atacontrol"
when the disk is reading/writing crashes the system half or more of the
times.

Maybe it's a BIOS or hard disk issue, but I can't try it in the new
machine because it uses "SATA300" and other modes aren't documented in
the manual page. The other machine supports UDMA* modes.

Otherwise there is a problem in "atacontrol". When this happens, the
disk light keeps blinking but the system freezes, and keeps waiting for
the disk to respond forever.

Best Regards,
Ale
