(Get the code!)
Suddenly I was watching a movie (reading from the HDD) and the HDD start to make strange noises. Then in few seconds was almost frozen. I ran "dmesg" and the same kind of errors were shown. After few more seconds I got the "Kernel Panic" message (and it frozen).
In less than a week it have happened 3 times. I had swap files (not partition) in the problematic HDD. So I moved them to other drive. That seems to reduce the problem, but this morning, while I was playing a DVD, the HDD start to make those noises again. So I turn it off immediately. Then I thought it may be related to the controllers or a kernel related bug.
System: Kubuntu 10.04.1 - Linux 2.6.32-26-generic x86_64. 1GB RAM
By the way, I think these bugs may be related:
