About "ata1: command....."

[Filippos Klironomos]

Same problem with my desktop (search the the list for Dell XPS and you'll
find it). The problem
is not in the hard disk most likely but in the BIOS. The way these system
freezes were solved for me
is to add the 'noapic' command in the kernel argument at
/boot/grub/grub.conf and boot again.
The system has been up and running for three days now with no crash.

Hope it helps,
Filippos
