Hi Andy, I am not Jeff, unforturnately... :) But I just wanted to confirm that 
what you have seen is exactly what I learned and posted last summer (2007-08-04 
10:11:48 GMT). At the time, I tried all kernels and branches I could get my 
hands on.

Also I would not mind helping, but similar to you, I have not any knowledge 
about the sata subsystem. But I can certainly test etc.

In order to get into trouble, it seams that exercising more than one disk at 
the same time on the interface "does it". - i.e. one doesn't have to go raid.

Regards,
 Micael
