Sorry for the spam (maybe I'm on the wrong ML at all... don't know...) 
but I fixed this on my own. I didn't expect the new disk to be the 
reason for this problem, but after checking for badblocks I got a value 
far over 1000 of bad blocks.

So I'll send this disk back to the vendor to get my money back and get a 
new one...

Nice to know, that Linux was *not* the reason for those errors.

Yours

Manuel
