After upgrading my kernel to 2.6.20.6 recently, I started having random drive errors on both ext3 and xfs filesystems. On boot, my two data drives (one ide and one sata) would come up with fsck errors. Somehow the root drive was spared. One of the first symptoms of the problem was "illegal filename" when trying to remove files copied by "cp -axu" as part of a backup operation. I fell back to 2.6.20.3, and these problems seem to have gone away. The motherboard is an Asus A7NX8 using sata_sil and amd74xx drivers. Is this a known problem? I'm kinda reluctant to try later kernels on this machine now.
