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.
