A slim possibility is that you have acpi enabled on an nforce2 chipset.
If thats the case, either shut it off, or go upgrade the bios to the latest as that fixed some other, non-disk related problems that several of us have had with that chipset. 

I subscribe to three email echoes about Linux, and I see a
recurrent theme: mysterious errors, solved by booting with
ACPI turned off.

ISTM that either: Linux just doesn't properly support ACPI, or
BIOS implementors just don't know how to get it right.

Either way (and I don't care which) perhaps the default boot
should be with ACPI turned off, and add an option to turn it
on.

I had several mysterious problems with my machine until I
put "acpi=off" into my grub.conf.

Stock Windows XP has no problems with the ACPI on my machine.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
