All I did was : "Native Mode Operation" set to "Serial ATA" (it had the default BIOS option). I had to recompile the kernel with SATA support because it was an old Slackware :) But for the new distros you shouldn't need to do that. You saved the (many) "dayS", thank you :) Thank you Adryan, had this problem with some SATA HDDs in mirror 1 software RAID.

If you reach your memory level and begin to use swap space, all thoose applications using swap space will segfault when the swap disk dies. You could potentially crash your whole machine.

My sync speeds were only 3000kb/sec and after this fix they are 100000kb/sec+. i knew something was wrong with a dual core processor with 4gb ram hardly responding to keystrokes. Thanks so much!!!
