I am also experiencing disk thrashing with the following characteristics.
- Mouse becomes very slow  to respond
- Keyboard becomes extremely slow or unresponsive
- screen becomes unresponsive
- often requires a power down
- Tracker has been disabled
- Compaq Presario R3000 with AMD 64 
- Install of Gutsy 7.1 on new partition
- Dual boots to Windows XP with no disk problems
- Fedora 7 was previously installed on same machine with no disk problems.
- System Monitor (and Htop) shows 100% CPU but all listed tasks are only using 
a small fraction of the CPU.  Swap is not being used.  (But may not be accurate 
because often screen freezes when the thrashing starts).
