Hi, I can throw in some information maybe it helps. I had that problem with 2.6.12 on my old machine with 5 PATA discs connected together to a Raid 5 with dm-crypt on top. Then I switched to a new machine and copied the operating system. Now I have 3 SATA und 2 PATA discs connected together to a Raid 5 with dm-crypt on top and everything is rock solid. Meanwhile I use 2.6.15 and it is still rock solid. Conclusion: same software, different hardware and the problem vanished.
