Ryan Earl'" Cc: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org =46inally, I got it to work! :) It seems that the BIOS on the SX4 card can report the DIMM-module as beeing OK, while it sure isn't. After moving the card to another system, and the same error occured I ran memtest86 on the DIMM-module, and it shows up OK. When trying the Memtest.exe (downloaded from Promise web-site) to check DIMM module whe= n installed in SX4, it reported it as FAILED. It seems it is worth noticing this as the BIOS DIMM check-thingy seems to be not-so-clever ;) Thanks for the replies I got. Sincerely, Simen R=F8nning -----Original Message----- =46rom: J.
