Dell Poweredge 700 locks up when mounting second SATA drive.
I've been using Slackware 8.1 with Linux Kernel 2.6.8.1 reliably for 6 months on my Dell Poweredge 700 using the included single SATA hard drive. I just purchased a Maxstore SATA drive and went through the steps to partition and format it. There were no reported bad blocks when I ran e2fsck (yep, it's partitioned type 83, formated ext2), so I figured that I should be "good to go." However, after it's mounted and I attempt to COPY an existing file from my boot drive/partition to the mounted directory, it locks up.
More specificly, the system will no longer be able to either read from the boot drive, write to the boot drive, read from the new mounted drive, or write to the mounted drive. While the result is observable, there is no error displayed or recorded; the later probably being the result of the problem I'm having.
Some relevent info from dmesg follows:

Any help or background information anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
