I managed to get a response from Jeff on the linux-kernel list which I 
have yet to respond to (sorry!).

This problem was fixed by dodgy NCQ on the disk itself, S/N: 
WMANM2828677 P/N: WD1600JS-60MHB1 (Western Digital 160Gb). If I disabled 
the disk it worked fine, or replaced the disks with Some Seagates it 
worked fine also!

I am running a 2.6.19 at the moment quite happily. Still want me to test 
a 2.6.20.1? I might be able to get a bit of time later on this week.
