DRIVE PROBLEM

[Jim Blokland]

Hello:

I've got two Western Digital 80 GB drives (2MB cache) on a Sonnet Tempo 
RAID 133 card, in my Dual 500 G4.  They are raided together, and NOT 
used as a boot drive.  Sometimes when the computer has been on for a 
while (it gets warm in there), when I restart, I get the spinning wheel 
with the grey Apple, and then the 'circle with a line through it' 
no-go.  Once the computer has sat shut down for awhile, everything 
boots up fine.

I believe the OS goes through a system-wide check before continuing the 
boot sequence, and it sees something funky about those drives (this 
never happened before I installed the RAID array).  Anyone have any 
ideas whether it's the heat, some kind of 'time-out' with the WD drives 
-- or the Tempo RAID card acting up?

If you're running a similar config, your help would especially be 
appreciated.

Best, JIM.

OS 10.2.4, 1 GB RAM, Dual 500...
