That almost sounds like the issue I have with my core 2 duo box, but
I'm almost certain it's caused by a faulty Seagate/Maxtor disk. It
happens for me on Linux as well, and googling for disk-related issues
seems to indicate there have been similar issues with "larger" Seagate
disks in the last couple years.
FWIW, I have a similar problem on my nforce-based fake-raid5 Windows
XP 64bit system where the three 320gb Seagate disks go to la-la land
for a few seconds sometimes causing Windows to hang solid while I
wait...
Someone suggested to me a firmware update on the disks, but barring
that, all of these disks are headed for the junk heap soon.
