Grrrr..... that sucks (for me anyway :)

I'll give that a shot. Maybe it's something in the preemp or low latency that's causing problems. Have you used any other kernels? Another thing that might be causing it is heat (my office is pretty warm), assuming you have lm_sensors set up what sort of heat output do you have?
On this box I have only used the gentoo-sources. I have another box with a Abit NF7 motherboard, also nForce2 based and I've tried a couple of others on that one with success. The xfs sources ran fine aswell. The development sources I never got running, probably because problems with the USB drivers, it frooze on boot. I also used Alan Cox kernel, but usb didn't work with that one either. I've not experienced any harddrive or NIC problems on that machine though. Of course, that one doesn't have the on board 3Com NIC.
I do not have lm_sensors, but I do have ACPI working and the CPU temperature is around 46C. Inside the case, its 28C. My other nForce2 based machine has a CPU temperature that is about 10C higher, but thats not a problem either.

Strange, I have the same controller with 3x80 on it (for a file storage raid5 array) that was being used only in linux before, but when I booted up I was getting all sorts of "lost interrupt" messages and the boot process just ground to a halt until I unplugged all the drives from the card. This was happening just doing the kernel probing on boot, before trying to mount them or anything. Maybe the kernel again.... I moved the drives over to my http/ftp server though, probably a better place for them anyway...
I've not experienced any such problems. The only problem I encountered upon install was that when I choose a framebuffer mode the computer completely frooze but when I ran the installation in plain text mode, it ran fine and now with the gentoo-sources I can run framebuffer upon boot without any problems.
Do you think maybe you could send me your .config, just in case I have some sort of strangeness going on that I missed?
kernel config attached.
TIA
