It's failing for me :(

I'll try recompiling (and i'll do a cvsup on another system
and copy it over to make sure it's current :)

That seems to be related : it 'works' in that it senses the media,
and reports the correct value, but then it gives these silly 'watchdog
timeout' messages so i can't use it :(
(when it does the watchdog message, it loses the sense data)

Doesn't work in 5.0-RELEASE, works beautifully with 5.1-BETA :)
(It lists both of the 120G serial ATA disks, and the mirror-raid
that it's configured to use :)
