If you want to try to debug this further - you could turn on PCI parity error detection (either using EDAC module, or via userspace with lspci/setpci)? # modprobe edac_core # echo 1 > /sys/module/edac_core/parameters/check_pci_errors If you're after a different solution for that machine, you can buy Sii 3124 based cards (PCI-X to 4x SATA) for about the same price as that adaptor.... http://www.siliconimage.com/products/product.aspx?pid=27 Tim. -- South East Open Source Solutions Limited Registered in England and Wales with company number 06134732.
