I think the OP lost the focus a little: the situation he is complaining

additionally since my box was up for months 24/7 before the trouble
started, if it is even a software issue at all we must add

- recent FC5 kernel

So unless those boxes are all in the above situation they probably don't
throw much light other than to defend FC5 from the general charge of
being shaky.

Yeah I thought about why I didn't mention processors, etc in my reply, and I
still don't have an answer. :)

Regardless, that scenario of the OP is exactly my situation, I run almost
entirely x86_64 CPUs with SATA (and SATA2) drives as boot and RAID drives. I
have 2 servers running Opterons that haven't been rebooted since FC5 was
released. These are a combination of fresh installs and upgrades and I've
seen no trouble out of either type. Based on the fact that the OP had drives
dying, it sounds like the drives he had FC5 on weren't good to begin with.

Honestly, nothing annoys me more than a post (or phone call, face-to-face,
etc) where someone says, 'It's broken' and nothing else. Being a Sysadmin
for as long as I have this is my one pet peeve.
