Doh, I think I have solved it. I have took out all three DIMMs and
cleaned their connections... I think they where dirty.
BTW, my 20 GB drive is Fujitsu and my 1,7 GB and 500 Mb drives are
both Seagate. And, when everything of this happened, I didn't had DMA
enabled for the old drives, which is disabled by default on them and
activated in the 20 GB drive.
Thanks.
