Hi,

   about checking for faulty hardware, to recap... So far I have  
replaced the server, moved from i386 to amd64, and now I have also  
replaced the eSATA PCI card. With all of these changes I am still  
getting the panics.
On Monday I will swap out the drive enclosure and the cable which  
should cover off the things you mentioned. Once Ive tested that Ill  
let you know if Im still seeing the issue,

thanks Andy.

PS the disk enclosure is this:

http://uk.startech.com/product/S352U2RER-35in-eSATA-USB-Dual-SATA-Hot-Swap-External-RAID-Hard-Drive-Enclosure

Which according to the specs is using a Sil5744, I assume this is  
providing the port multiplier support. Just in case thats of any help,  
ie any know issues...
