Sometime Today, Kunal Jhunjhunwala assembled some asciibets to say:

may be a DMA problem.  You could fool around with hdparm - at your own
risk of course.

try some of the following:

DMA off:
hdpard -d0

disable 32bit IO (temporarily to see if it makes a difference)
hdparm -c0

disable read ahead:
hdparm -A



of course, these commands are not complete, because if they were, you'd
be tempted to use them without reading the hdparm man page first :)

so, go read it, understand it, and then try it.
