That's good news. How long has it been running w/o crash, long enough
to say the issue is resolved? Some recent SATA changes to
sys/dev/ata/ata-{pci,chipset}.c might be to credit, considering you

Related ACPI issue: can you enter S3 sleep and resume with-out
loosing the array? That was one problem I was having with the
FastTrack (ATA RAID) controller.
