I see a few other bugs talking about system hangs during heavy I/O involving USB drives (e.g. 755066) but none seems specifically related to this.
These two machines are set up for testing right now so I am free to try different things.
The source hard drive is the former system disk with Ubuntu 10.10 on it for the Toshiba, in an external USB enclosure.
I should mention that I've tried several cables.
I should also mention that the external USB enclosure has a green LED indicating drive ready and a read LED indicating I/O. When the system hangs, the red LED goes out but the green remains on.
