Because my server hung when is overloaded during network & hdd operations.
My network card, Lance PCnet/PCI-II, is a busmastering device, and I think
that my system hang during a _concurrent_ DMA operations, big network
transfers and massive hdd operations.
If I disable hdd DMA operations (hdparm -d 0 /dev/hda), the system works
well.
