I used a PATA drive, so did not experience the issue you are having. I am using a NVIDIA AGP video card and that seems to work okay with some intermittent video shutdowns. I do see that XORG issued some new patches, so that problem may be covered there. I reported this bug to Redhat Linux-kernel and we'll have to see what they have to say. Will report to Linux-kernel once Google gets back online. BTW, are you local? Lodi here...
