Could you please be morespecific? I would start with the name of the SATA controller and drive and see whether someone else has had the same problems (search archives and google). Then i'd probably check temperatures, chipsets, try -CURRENT (for driver updates to see whether that fixes it) and go from there. See if you can identify a condition that triggers the IRQ storm. -- Sten Daniel Soersdal
