Hello people!!! I had similar issues with every hard disk that I plugged to my motherboard Asrock 939A8X-M. When the disk was intensively used the system was frozen and a black screen with the mouse pointer is usually obtained. This problem happened using Lucid and Maverick but not using Karmic, with 2.6.31-22 kernel (32 or 64 bits) for instance. then I downgraded the whole system to karmic and since this I am happily working without problems. The freeze happened to me using both PATA or SATA disks, it doesn't depend of whatever kind or brand of hard disks. It seems to be a bug in the new kernel drivers after 2.6.32 with the motherboards Asrock 939A8X-M. My processor is an AMD X2 4200+, and the bug was happened in 32 and in 64 bits of Lucid and Maverick. I hope that this will be solved in Natty... With bests regards.
