I experienced the same problem with current a few months ago, with an Intel ICH5 chipset and an 80Gb SATA drive. I was virtually guaranteed a hard lockup at least once a day during work hours and every morning I'd arrive in to a frozen box. There was no pattern to the lockups. I "solved" the problem by moving to a non-SATA drive and removing the SATA drive from the system. Does anyone know the current status of ICH5 support? I remember a number of mails to the list about ICH5 issues, but don't remember if these were ever addressed. Regards, Tony. -- Tony ByrneReceived on Tue Sep 14 2004 - 06:38:06 UTC
