Ok, I went the long way to test my drives,
Installed fedora without my SATA's connected, let it sit for 2 days (no mayor errors).
Attached my drives and ran the tests. Unfortunatly, having the drives attached created errors again,
Code:

but no hard lockup (although the system became VERY slow). Rebooted to get the smartctl results as posted below:

So, having that done, all tests seem to be ok. Then why are my 4 SATA drives attached causing trouble with my kernel?
BIOS is set to use Native IDE.. (Other option is Legacy IDE)
Pls help
