I had this behaviour on 5.3-RELEASE, 5.3-RELEASE-p5 and now i have it on 5.4-PRERELEASE. I am using a custom kernel with SMP enabled on a P4 3.2GHz for hyperthreading. One hdd is a SATA drive and it acts fine. The other hdd however is an ATA133 drive and i suspect it to be the problem, since freezes only occur when it is busy (eg. copying much data from a DVD/HDD to it or compiling a port). Whenever the system freezes there is no warning or log entry at all. I used 'smartmontools' to check the drive, but there was not found anything and the hdd appeared to be fully operational. Could the freezes come from a faulty IDE hdd (which would mean that I better get rid of it), or are there other possiblities.
