^^ How much RAM do you have, and are you running more than 1 preclear at the same time?
2 - 1 gig sticks.
My first few attempts were trying to preclear all 3 drives simultaneously via Screen. After those failed I began attempting each drive individually via Screen, then individual drives locally while swapping SATA ports and cables. All results ended with the same lockups eventually.

First time unRAID builder here. Basing my build on Raj's 5 drive budget box (Biostar A760G M2+ mother board) and can't get past Preclear on any of my 3 new jumperless 2TB EARS drives. All of my attempts have used the -A variable and have stalled, locking up the system after anywhere from 5 minutes to 1.5 hours. Ran Memtest overnight with 0 errors before attempting to preclear.
I have tried all of the drives in different channels and with different cables; same results. Bios settings are as per the first time configuration wiki:
http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hardware_Compatibility#First_Time_Configuration.
Preclear version is 1.9 and unRAID is 4.7
If I understand things correctly I can't get a syslog containing diagnostic info if I reboot yet the only way to get the system to respond after preclear locks is to reboot.
Find it hard to believe that all 3 drives are so borked that I can't even get them to properly fail and generate a report...
Preclear.sh results - Questions about your results? Post them here.

My first attempts were with default settings, then I found the board BIOS recommendations from unRAID wiki:
Set the OnChip SATA Type to AHCI
Disable SATA IDE Combined Mode
Same results either way.
