The mouse works and all active programs (using the IDE disk) continue working, but I can't launch new programs or switch between active programs (since my Linux system is in the frozen disk).

The last time the freezing ocurred, I was trying to copy a large file (300 MB) from my IDE disk to the SATA disk. There were several "freezes" and once each "freeze" was over (30 Secs later), the "/var/log/messages" file showed that my SATA disk was reconfigured ... first UDMA/133, later UDMA/100 and finally UDMA/33.

I checked both disks with diagnostic tools (including surface scan), and installed smartmontools to see the SMART log (no errors there), both disk are Ok.

Thanks,
