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.
