I had a similar problem with a -STABLE system that I tracked down to two problems: * Long 40-wire disk drive cable. Shorter or 80-wire cable is more reliable * Mis-jumpered hard disk. I had the drive jumpered as "master _with_ slave", even though there was no slave on that cable. Different hard disks handle this in different ways. Once I fixed the jumpering and swapped in a better hard disk cable, the problems went away. Tim Kientzle
