It locks tight, not even anything to the console before it hangs.... ;( They are eide drives. I have another fileserver in the same type of setup (different hardware) and its never had a problem at all. Am trying a debug kernel, not hopeful since it locks up without sending any messages. Next will be to try a PCI eide controller and or using the drives individually for a bit to see if they are bad. thanks
