Hi, A couple of threads up-mailinglist I posted about a few dodgey PCI silcards. I had a couple of faulty sil 3512 based cards. You might wantto invest in something a bit better, or at least swap out cables andsee if that helps. I experienced exactly the same freezing of ports. Upgraded to a newmotherboard with lots of SATA ports onboard and all was well. Abouthalf the cables in that machine changed too, so...yeah. Good luck! Just my £0.02. Or $0.02. :-) T 2008/5/15 Henry, Andrew <andrew.henry@xxxxxxxxxx>:>> > At least I can still see the discs now.

You just made me realize that this would solve my other problem: I cannot reboot my server remotely because it asks for the dmcrypt password on boot when I put a line in crypttab. Mounting everything with scripts *after* boot would let me reboot remotely. :)>> Thanks a lot for the help.
