Hi,
Thank you for the detail.
From what I see, the hardware is supported on SL 5.5.
From the description of the sounds and symptoms, I believe you are
having hardware problems, particularly the hard drive.
I would look in
/var/log/messages
and see if there is anything there dealing with your hard drives.
I don't have an example right now of what to look for, maybe someone
else has some log examples of hard drives going bad.
