Last night I saw ide errors on the console indicating drive timeouts and read failures, with the last line indicating a reset of ide0 was done.

What are the specs on your empeg (drive size, model, number of drives) and are the drives mounted RO or RW when you see the errors? As I mentioned in a previous post I am still having one problem with this when the player remounts the drives after a sync, but it only is happening on my dual drive player and I haven't gotten to spend much time on it yet. Also, one of the drives in that player has always seemed kind of flaky.

Anyway, make sure you do an fsck or two as well since that error sounds kind of ominous.
