Thanks for your suggestions, Tim. Erm.. since it's not the same system
installed on both drives (one has FC5, the other has Fedora 8), it
could be anything in the installed software too, I'm afraid.

In another mail (Subject: Fedora 8: ipw2200 firmware error when back
after a short while of inactivity (D810)), I'm detailing how I got
other short hangs (more serious penalty, though), apparently related to
a Power Management option, by chance I've found how to avoid it but
it's maybe the visible part of the iceber only? Maybe not related too,
as I get it w/ a specific kernel version. Maybe, maybe not..
