I have two promise udma133 tx2 controllers (both flashed to the latest bios) and 5 80gb idedrives. the problem is that when i try to mkraid a set with a drive on my second promise controller my computer hard locks, no crash dump or such. I have tried different drive combinations and they work as long as i only use 4 drives, two on the mobo and two on one promise. Indifferent of which of the five drives get to be the fifth drive on the second controller the system hard locks when i mkraid. If i make a filesystem on the fifth drive and mount it like a normal drive it works like normal. It behaves the same if i change the second 133 tx2 for a fasttrack100 controller or shuffle the cards in different pci-slots.
