I've seen the threads for awhile, i've experienced this
since i went to 3.x, reguardless of version, except the
pre-releases which didn't. It only
happens with my secondary drive (seagate hawk 4.2 gig)
and never my primary drive. I've been inclined to believe
the source of the problem is the drives power requirements
since it is a power hog. When i get the invalid pack error
i can hear the drive spindown, then it usually recovers and
spins back up but the os never seems to recover. Eventually
it locks up. 

For a fluke i did some testing. I got the error twice in a row
on a cold startup and then a warm reboot. Afterwards everything
was fine for about a week. Cold startups, reboots etc. Nothing
could shake it. Then it starts up again for no reason.
I was running fsck on the drive after rebooting and saw this in
the logs during the fsck...

is this of any help? anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? I've gone
thru 2 powersupplies thinking thats the culprit on the drive timing out.
I've replaced the cables, the terminations etc. I've got 3 devices in the
chain and this is in the middle. I might put another drive in the middle
to see if it happens again.
