While in rescue mode from the cd, I've tried to check the disk with the
command: dd if=/dev/hda | wc -c 
Everything worked fine, no error, no messages.

I've just switched the hard disk with a smaller one. Seem to work fine
for now.  I've experienced some lockup too, but that must be my old
i740. 

The corruption appeared while doing a lot of file transfer, i tried to
disable the dma for the drive but the corruption appeared anyway.
