    Nope. Odd, eh?

    Only log item of relevance was

    (scsi0:A:0:0): Locking max tag count at 64

    which I get every now and then anyhow.

    2.4 survived this fine. Looking like its not the disk, then. I will
    try this in 2.5 once I backup some data and finish some work.

    I should note I have been running this machine with 2.5 for about a
    month now with no problems and my development machines have been 2.5
    since, uh, 2.5.1 but they are all IDE not SCSI.
