If you're using one of those embeddable mini-ITX power supplies you might want to rule out voltage stability problems by testing with an ATX power supply.
Thanks. Yesterday I tried the -current kernel, didn't change anything, so I tried plugging in a 430W ATX PSU, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't see any more lost interrupts, but as I managed to change the piixide mode at the same time I am not sure which one did the trick - bad testing process I seem to have. So, I am now back to the original 220W PSU (which I think should be enough!), original kernel and the same BIOS settings and running a couple of builds. Let's see what happens... (I already have a full ATX Core i7 system in a shopping basket. Will not take this Mini-ITX-fake-SATA-s**t too much longer ;-)) Teemu
