Hey Alan. Thanks for the reply (and much appreciated your work on Linux over the years). No other errors that I can see. I've attached the output from kern.log from the last time the link was down below (I don't want to clutter this area). I've included the kern.log file from the point where "SCSI system initialized (new line) libata version 3.00 loaded" down to the last sd /sr messages. I'm not sure if our messages crossed, but the problem occurs intermittently on both sets of drives, and they have separate power cables. The power supply is Antec CP-850. I have checked both the power and sata cables. >> Would deselecting the pata_marvell likely get rid of this problem? The >> descriptor says: > > Probably not.

Here is the kern.log from the last time the link failed. Any other thoughts?
