    Mounted filesystems:

    /dev/hda2 on / type ext2 (rw)
    none on /proc type proc (rw)
    ...
    none on /proc type proc (rw)
    /dev/hda3 on /suse type ext2 (rw)
    none on /proc type proc (rw)
    none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
    /dev/cfs0 on /overlay type coda (rw)

    (I wander what is responsible for mounting /proc hundred times?)

    But... you should know that I'm strongly suspecting ide subsystem:

    Feb 8 12:08:02 amd kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
    Feb 8 12:08:02 amd kernel: hda: drive not ready for command
    Feb 8 12:08:02 amd kernel: ide0: reset: success
    Feb 8 12:09:26 amd kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
    Feb 8 12:09:26 amd kernel: hda: drive not ready for command
    Feb 8 12:09:26 amd kernel: ide0: reset: success
    Feb 8 12:12:27 amd kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
    Feb 8 12:12:27 amd kernel: hda: drive not ready for command
    Feb 8 12:12:27 amd kernel: ide0: reset: success

    I'm trying to test it with md5sum, but so far it behaves ok. [I wonder
    what directory I'll loose this time ... :-(]
