I'm trolling for ideas on what the problem with this might be.  I have a
P90 system with 48M, sd0 is a 1 gig Conner, and sd1 is a 4 gig barricuda. 
This system is running the 1026-SNAP.  It is being used as a news server,
but it keeps crashing. :( The system will stay up for anywhere from 2 to
24 hours, but it will then crash.  What happens is the hard disks stop
responding, thus requiring a power cycle.  If I only reset, the barricuda
seems to disappear!  Power cycleing comes up fine.  This happens with both
the Adaptec 2940 and 1542.  Anyone have any ideas?  Maybe I should ditch 
the 4 gig and get a couple of 2 gigs?
