 Sorry for the late reply, but this bug can be closed again.
 
 Both drives broke down in the end.
 I got them replaced, and bought some new SATA cables.
 
 Now everything boots fine with 6.3 (upgraded in the meantime to 7.x)
 
 Possible causes:
 - bad batch of disks. (2 died & were replaced under warranty)
 - sata cables (replaced with beter quality cables that 'clip' into the drive
 
 Thanks to everyone looking into this.
 
 Christophe
