I have seen this with early SNV releases (and don't really have any stats on later \
ones yet) and S10 U1 on a ThinkPad T43 laptop and on a white-box Intel P4 945 chipset \
box.  Both use a SATA interface to the hard drive (although via sata->pata converter \
on T43).

When it happens, it is on shutdown or boot (or reboot).   There will be a pause, then \
"ata timeout" and usually everything is hosed.  If it happens after touching system \
config it can leave the box unbootable.

Sorry for the vagueness of the question but I haven't found a place where I can \
capture diagnostic information (probably since it can't write to disk there isn't \
any).  And I sort of hope it doesn't happen again anyway :)

Thoughts?

Bill
