The original reporter seems to think that LNX-BBC is not to blame
after all:

Hi... Thanks for your swift reply; my apologies for the delay in mine.

I thought this was going to be simple to pin down, but like a lot of
other things for me lately, it is not.
It appears my problem is not so easily attributed to Linux at all.

I have seen it happen between reboots of my Windows stuff, with
no intervening boot of Linux.  Talk about a royal pain !
So at this point, I would say your LNX-BBC is exonerated, unless there's
some virus in it that modified my disks in such a way as to
cause a problem long after Linux is gone.... not likely, I'd guess.

I'll update my recently purchased Norton Anti-virus software and run it
again.

For the record I'm seeing this problem on an
ECS K7S5A Motherboard with an updated flash bios,
and a Duron 1 Ghz  processor.   I haven't used this hardware for
all that much, so it could well be this motherboard/cpu/SCSI controller.
It has shown up with SCSI and IDE disks and several combinations
thereof. Currently it is happening with only SCSI disks attached.

Thanks for your attention, sorry for the red flag and what now appears
to be a false alarm for you.  I'll get back to you if I see any better
reason to
implicate your stuff.

Paul Iddings.
