Package: laptop-mode-tools Version: 1.10-1 Problem: The system freezes with laptop-mode-tools hard disk defaults set by "/etc/init.d/laptop-mode-tools start". It typically crashes when writing out to disk while system is under normal load. I've only ever gotten it to generate an error once on the console: "hda: DMA timeout error".
I'm sorry I can't provide much more information. I suggest disabling hard-disk optimization in the default config with a note in the config file to try it and if it crashes to comment it back out.
