With only 2 GB of RAM (with either pairs), system is very stable (surviving many parallel kernel compiles for over 3 times longer than that of 4 GB), and it detects & works fine with the SATA drives also. Any advice on getting all of 4 GB to work reliably with SATA also? Thanks PS: Here's a dmesg of the all stably working 2 GB system, & the oopsy one with 4 GB.
