Just a consideration it might be worth making when we're testing the different distros / kernals. Once I had experienced the problem, I could not reliably get rid of it without doing a dd -if /dev/zero to both disks. In #89 (Andrew Simpson) and #80 (Stephen O), when the problem was exhibited in Fedora 12, had the disks been zeroed in between?
