    Exact motherboard make and model would be helpful also...others are
    having SATA problems on x86_64 systems also but this doesn't look like
    that to me...however, I'll bet a dollar to a donut that you have memory
    issues. Boot CD1 and run memtest86 at the boot prompt...I suggest
    running it for an extended period.
