Sorry but can't really find anything specific in your log.  Please...

1. give a host at 2.6.20.  It will give us yet more info about errors.

2. turn on "Kernel hacking -> Show timing information on printks."

3. report the result of "lspci -nn"

4. try to connect harddrives to separate power supply or use other
hardware debugging tactics.  There have been a lot of SATA bug reports
which turned out to be hardware problems.  SATA seems to be the first to
get hit when there is generic hardware problem (e.g. insufficient / bad
power supply).

Thanks.
