Does this mean hardware damage, or just serious libata/ICH5 confusion? I've got a six-disk server here with two disks on an ICH5 and four on an SATA150 TX4, and I really would like to be able to hot-replace a disk in case of a failure. If the ICH5 cannort support this, I'm going to have to get a 3ware card.
