System freeze during hard disk activity (MSI FX620DX)

Hello everyone.

When disk is performing r/w operation my system (2.6.39-ARCH) soft-freezes and responses very slowly. I found that problem occurs under X window and only console. I tried to change I/O scheduler but it changes nothing. I was looking for solution of this problem unsuccessfully so I decided to post here.

Laptop: MSI FX620DX
