I have the same problem, though it appears randomly. It seems like the chances
for this happening are bigger if I do heavy disk I/O. The only way to fix that
is to shut down the computer and wait a few seconds before rebooting (if I
don't wait, the problem doesn't go away). I bought new harddrives, so it's
most likely not caused by the drives, I also tried putting the drives onto a
different controller (I have four on-board SATA controller and two
harddrives), that didn't help either, so I suspect its the cable - SATA cables
are very error-prone, I don't trust them as they don't hold that tightly in

Well that's the strange thing.. I've done heavy I/O on this with no
trouble. This happened overnight when my system should have been mostly
idle
