Hi Alan, we tried a different controller with originally an eprom bios. We simply put that eeprom away. (The Promise has a chip-integrated flash bios - putting that away seems not to be possible.) The kernel crashed alike. Do You have any ideas to get more debug output? I could set up my second C-Class with parisc-linux and test it there. (The first one is now running some essential services - continued crashing would not be good.) Then I will have a deep look into the linux-code (oh, I'll have to learn C) and search for that stupid (sorry) 0x170 probe. Thanks a lot! You will read more... Joerg
