Today the channel with the Maxtor disc locked up. I also know I've seen lockups on both channels. Plus I've switched SATA cables at least once. > I have updated my system to sources from 2004.08.09.13.00.00 > without any patches (because I saw some commits to the ATA code > in the last couple of days).

After 42 hours of uptime with very light I/O load on the SATA discs (plus the SMART monitor), one of the channels locked up. No interesting messages in the logs, just the normal "removed from configuration" message I've reported before. Any suggestions on how to proceed? /Daniel Eriksson
