One other bit of information on this problem: When I first set up this
machine, I had two drives hooked up to the controller, but was only using
one for the install for the first couple of days.
As far as I could tell, as long as I was only ever touching the first
channel/first disk, I wasn't experiencing this problem. I set up a
logical volume manager volume across both disks--and then the problem
started to happen in earnest. Is it possible that this problem only
surfaces with two disks hooked up to the controller on this particular
board--and that with only one it isn't an issue? I intend to remove one
of the disks and hit the other one hard and see if it's a problem.
Alexander, were you ever working with the linux driver where you only ever
hit one disk?
Thanks,
Jer

I tried your patch (by the way, it cannot be applied by patch utility -it
complains about malformed expression on line 19 and so on)
Default reads in 500mv. With 600mv, I am starting to get CRC errors for
Seagate drive (no errors with 2.6.13-git4). Samsung drive produces so many
errors, that it is unusable both with and without patch.
Ugh... that's ugly. :-/
Jeremy, apparantly my little patch doesn't do any good. Please ignore it.
Concerning K8N-DL motherboard -current BIOS 1004 is very buggy. It has
screwed up ACPI APIC table. To use onboard lan and usb, I have to boot with
pci=noacpi boot option. And I cannot use 1003, as I have DualCore Opterons,
and 1004 the only one which supports them!
There is long problem with Nvidia CK804 southbridge sata under Linux.
Despite that the board was released some 8 month ago, it still cannot be
used! And nobody seems to care about this. ASUS in the least. I was able to
boot from NVidia SATA with latest kernel and irqpoll option.
At first I thought that all my problems are gone at last, but the god
decided differently. It works at light disk load, but havy load lead to
system freeze. No errors, just dead freeze. I returned to silicon3114 sata.
At least, I have one working drive now:)
I fear that there's nothing much else I can do about this K8N-DL sil CRC
error. I've read the hw doc but couldn't find anything which seems helpful.
Let's hope something (BIOS update?) comes up soon.
Sorry.
