I wasn't using sata_sis when I got the drive to work with lost interrupts. I was using a patched sis5513 ide driver. So maybe I should just forget that and say that the machine locks up solid when I try and load sata_sis from sis18x_2.6.10_1.00.00. So I really don't understand what you are saying I need to do here. Remember, I'm not a C programmer and only came here some months back to see if someone could fix this. I'm willing to help in any way I can testing, but if you want me to patch something or enable something, you're going to have to lead me by the hand and show me what code, and exactly where to put within the base code. I can find function pci_enable_intx in sata_sis.c, but I don't have a clue as to what to do with it and since I wasn't using sata_sis, but the sis5513 driver when i could finally see the drives, I'm totally lost. -- KT133 MB, CPU @2400MHz (24x100): SIS755 MB CPU @2330MHz (10x233) Need good help?
