I am hopeful that the sata_mv has this bug (I proved that the problem I was experiencing was due to the sata_mv driver with 3.75Gig or more of memory)... I am on vacation for a week or more ...or I'd tell you today if it did have this bug! From: [EMAIL PROTECTE

I have gotten it to boot from those hard-drives and it has the same behavior: Copying a large file to the same partition (>150MEG) causes the system to hang (no I/O - no input/output - nothing - complete freeze - like a primary resource is locked up or interrupt
