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
