Hello Everyone,
I'm running Fedora 8 and my system freezes (for about 20 to 40 seconds) a
couple of times a day. When it does I see this on /var/log/messages:

/dev/sdc is my main drive. The only thing I can think of...is that this drive
is actually a PATA drive connected to the SATA controller on MoBo thru
a "SATA-TO-IDE Adapter" that I connect on the drive. Perhaps the converter is
faulty...or could this be a known issue with libata? Anyone had same
problem?
Thanks,
Jorge
Many months ago I had the exact same output. Lots of google voodo and
try and error solved it. My issue was that on one outlet of the power
supply there where to many (3) drives connected. After recabling all
went away. Others claimed that they got rid of the problem be refitting
the sata cables.

Henry,
I was just about to suggest checking the power supply. I had a power
supply that wouldn't supply enough voltage on the 5V rail. My system
would freeze. Turned out to be a known fault with the brand of
powersupplies.
Took two power supplies to find out that it was a known fault. Argh.
Warranties are useless on some products. I also learned that the sensor
voltages were not accurate in the BIOS in comparison to a digital
voltmeter on the actual power cable.
