Hi,

Just an update on this issue.

Quick summary: I fixed the BIOS issues, the hardware monitor issues, and 
the rl0/rl1 watchdog timeout issues (it seems). However I'm still having 
problems with my SATA drives (or at least one of them). More info below.

BIOS:
I flashed my BIOS to the latest version about a year ago, and never 
noticed that there was any problem, but it turns out there was. I never 
reset the BIOS to default factory settings after the upgrade, and it 
seems the settings were corrupt. After having reset the BIOS to the 
"default optimized factory settings" it stopped crashing when I go into 
the H/W monitor and also when using healthd -d (output below):

Temp.= 40.0, 36.0, 66.0; Rot.=    0,    0,    0
  Vcore = 1.44, 3.12; Volt. = 3.34, 5.00,  1.95,  -0.11, -1.54
Temp.= 40.0, 36.0, 66.0; Rot.=    0,    0,    0
  Vcore = 1.44, 3.14; Volt. = 3.33, 4.97,  1.95,  -0.11, -1.54
Temp.= 40.0, 36.0, 66.0; Rot.=    0,    0,    0
  Vcore = 1.44, 3.12; Volt. = 3.34, 4.97,  1.95,  -0.11, -1.54
Temp.= 40.0, 36.0, 66.0; Rot.=    0,    0,    0
  Vcore = 1.44, 3.12; Volt. = 3.34, 5.00,  1.95,  -0.11, -1.54
Temp.= 40.0, 36.0, 66.0; Rot.=    0,    0,    0
  Vcore = 1.44, 3.12; Volt. = 3.34, 5.00,  1.95,  -0.11, -1.54

This also seems to have fixed the rl0 watchdog timeout problems. I no 
longer see those in my logs.

SATA DRIVES:

I'm still having problems with the SATA drives.

I tried connecting the 1TB Samsung drives to my mainboard, but then the 
box hangs when booting with the "Detecting IDE drives" message. The 
regular (PATA) IDE drives are detected first, and then it repeats the 
"Detecting IDE drives" message to detect the sata drives, and hangs. 
When I connect my 250GB SATA drives to my mainboard they detect fine, 
and the box boots normally.

I did another rsync of my old mirror (the 250GB disks) to the new mirror 
(1TB disks), but again one of the disks got detached. This time there 
are no other messages in the log, the only thing I see is the following:

Aug 13 14:35:27 piglet su: sebster to root on /dev/ttyp5
Aug 13 14:55:38 piglet kernel: ad6: FAILURE - device detached
Aug 13 14:55:38 piglet kernel: subdisk6: detached
Aug 13 14:55:38 piglet kernel: ad6: detached
Aug 13 14:55:38 piglet kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm1: provider ad6 
disconnected.
Aug 13 15:00:00 piglet newsyslog[1800]: logfile turned over due to size>100K

(unfortunate that the log file just got rotated, but in the new log file 
there is nothing execpt the one expected line:

Aug 13 15:00:00 piglet newsyslog[1800]: logfile turned over due to size>100K

So, nothing after the disconnect...

The questions I have now is:
1) Could an upgrade to FreeBSD 7-STABLE fix the issue (it's a LOT of 
work for me, but I'll do it if there are SATA driver issues fixed).
2) What is the next step? Should I repeat the tests to see if it's 
always the same drive that disconnects?
3) Is there any way to get more info about what is causing the disconnect?

Regards,
Sebastiaan
