well there still seems to be a problem...
it does not lock up but after some test over a few hours i get the
following errors in dmesg:
hda: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest
Error }
hda: task_in_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest
Error }
hda: task_in_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest
Error }
hda: task_in_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest
Error }
hda: task_in_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
ide0: reset: success

so there still seems to be an error of some kind...

any ideas?

yours
