When I copy a directory containing about 6Gb of files
from a SATA disk to my SCSI system disk the system freezes
so I have to press the reset button. This happens with
cp -r, but is does not happen with mv. cp -r works fine
from the SCSI to the SATA disk. The problem reproduces
every time I try to cp from SATA to SCSI.
Is this a known issue?

Is there something that I can to to locate the
problem?

When it freezes, do you see some kernel messages displayed on
the console ?
Also, how many SATA disks and how many SCSI disks are involved ?
Are you using software RAID ?

No message of any kind.

2 SCSI disks on the same 29160 controller.

No software raid.

The sii3114 SATA chip on your motherboard is known to be buggy with
some drives (Seagate, Maxtor), which are blacklisted by sata_sil.c.
Can you try 2.6.9 ? IIRC more drives have been added to the blacklist
in 2.6.9.

Have the latest BIOS? BIOS update seems to fix most of the system
freeze issues, and replacing cables / power often fixes the rest.
Tried booting with "noapic" or "pci=biosirq" or "acpi=off" or "pci=noacpi"?

Yes, I have the latest BIOS (beta), but I didn't use it.
This morning I had an idea: could it be hyper transport?
The CPU2, PCI-X0, and AGP HT Link speeds were set to
600MHz or 800MHz by default.
After having changed all 3 values to 200MHz I
have not had a single freeze. I am still testing.
