Can you try with a non-MP kernel? I saw (infrequent) hangs until I changed
to uniprocessor. My initial testing indicated that interrupts were lost when
running MP. This seemed to affect all PCI boards, but was only fatal on the
satalink ones. I'm not confident enough to try to debug it further.
AS4100 with two satalink has been up for 2 months without a hang after
the other cpu boards were pulled.
