So, I recently put a new SATA controller into my PII server and added a  
sata hard drive to it. Whenever I try to copy things over network to it in  
excess of a few hundred megabytes, the system crashes and the terminal  
output floods with disk errors that say "kernel:  
g_vfs_done():ad4s1c[WRITE(offset=137438969856, length=131072)]error = 6"  
this message repeats itself infinitely, with the offset value changing. My  
SATA controller is listed in pciconf as "Sil 3512 SATALink/SATARaid  
Controller". The drive is brand new, and I pasted the output of smartctl  
http://devnull.lunar-linux.org/p/342 there. What could be causing this  
problem of crashing?
