No, they're identical and I want to increase performance, so RAID 0 should
work.

I have lost the exact message, because it was only on the console, but it
did mention aha1542.c and could'nt sync the disks because SCSI requests
timed out. So either, the driver went into an unknown state or the adapter
did. 

It could therefore not write a core image either.

I will try to reproduce it.

Well, my /etc is mostly leftovers from my 1.3 installation, but I have
taken the raid[0-3].conf detection and configuration from the 1.4.2
etc.tgz.

See you on the other side of this adventure :-) (my /home and most other
user files are on the new disk).
