Hi Mark,
I have tried a lot of software on this machine and have decided that it IS 
software related.
It appears to be related to the version of the kernel that is running, OR the 
raid system I am trying to get on the system.
This board has had a lot of problems with Ram and Sound and E-sata port.
It has spent more time being fixed than running and I suspect that it still has 
a problem although I don't yet know what it is.
I am now about to retry all the software but on a single drive and see if it 
works then!!!
Many thanks for coming back.
Gerald
