I tried kernel 2.6.23 and had the same problems.
System is using AHCI for SATA drives and NCQ. I disabled NCQ and it got better but the problem did not go away. I also tried Maxtor 6B300S0 Rev: BANC1E00 with the same results (some times the Maxtor made it worse and the system was mostly useless). I did find a drive that worked with NCQ and AHCI, an old 160G SATA disk WDC WD1600JS-60N Rev: 10.0 It did not seem to cause any errors when it was alone in the system. I disabled AHCI in the bios (back to old ICH6 IDE only mode). Now it is using the ata_piix and the system is happy with all drives again... -- Andrew Lindh [EMAIL PROTECTED] NETPLEX 860-233-1111 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
