Please be patient ... I want to chase this bug to its end, but I have a lot of things to deal with right away ... We may need to make some decisions because I have only one of these boards. If I update the bios and it fixes the problem, we can't chase it down in the code. If we chase it down in the code first, then we can still try to find out if a bios update also fixes it. I have some things to do that are going to steal me away for 1-2 weeks .. potentially more, so please be patient.

Then, put the drive on a different machine and it booted/worked repeatedly with no problems. Got a 3rd drive from a different manufacturer, and it did the same thing. Running this particular main board, I can install ubuntu studio on a drive. Then, after about 3 or 4 days running, it refuses to access the drive. The O.S. doesn't crash, mouse moves etc. but I have to bring it down because it won't start an app, and often (but not always) kills the menu window while selecting a program.. and butts out of anything that seems likely to be requesting the drive. ... again ... take the same drive, connect to another machine and its dreamy. (this assertion needs more testing, so I am running another machine with such a drive long term at this point to double check that) Then, when I bring it back up, the O.S. won't boot. I can often get it back up by plugging the drive into a different sata slot or in one case, switching off the S.M.A.R.T. drive manager, but after a few days drive access fails again. The machine hangs at the dpmi data screen and eventually asks for a bootable drive. ...( but there is a drive that works on other machines.) .. googling finds nothing except the main board has a reputation for not booting from flash drives. Not the same deal. Because of that .. I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the real time kernel because that's different, and rare enough that others may not have encountered the problem yet. No promises on that being true. no special gpu, and all of the hardware seems to work fine. About the only thing I can think of to try at this point is a different OS on this same machine ... pain in the behind, but maybe necessary to help track down the problem.
