I suppose the question is was there a problem with the Tyan S5350 motherboard and its ATA controller - I know that two identical motherboards with different hard disks exhibit the same problem. And if so why is it that there has been little on these lists about problems with the chipset which is on this motherboard (a fairly common one I believe from Intel). Although the problem went away the machines filesystem seems to have got corrupted so maybe all was not fixed after all. There have been a number of comments and queries about ATA problems and SATA problems with 5.4 but no views as to if this is a real problem. Any insights would be gratefully received. One aside when trying to upgrade using CVSUP does the tag need to be RELENG_5 or RELENG_5_4?
