The disks are not mounted or otherwise being accessed (such as via software raid or lvm). My hardware is a sil3124 controller, 5 sata drives, and a couple Sil 3726 PMP's (embedded in a Norco 1220 disk array). I plan to further test against 2.6.18-rc3 and 2.6.17.4 /w patch. Any initial suggestions before I try the other kernels? Thank you.
