?
any way, in the dmesg he sent us this card appears well and I have no clue how much this card, even not used could disturbe its 
system?

I presume that the developper find the fact to not being able to tx a data is less critical then lost to write data on disk?

I have this feeling (so similar to my ncr pb: same lasi+ccio-dma drivers, when writing and with high i/o rate?)
It's possible that my patch is not enough or has border effect?
For the moment Guy as recompile a 2.6.6-pa4 with my patch and awaiting to reboot it.
If it unfortunately it still failled, I will ask to try a 2.6.3 (ie the last one I can boot without pb on my c110 ;)
