Have you ruled out hard drive failure using smartctl?  Do a long selftest and review the results.

Also, swap out your SATA cables or at least ensure they are fully seated.

Finally, check to see if there are known issues with the SATA interface you are using (is it onboard, add-in card, raid card?) and the linux kernel you have installed.

Can anyone help me with pointers on how to determine what they mean?
