Hmm, I'm wondering if this could be same bug that I'm seeing with ASUS A7V133 & Duron/800 when using IDE autotuning (PDC20265). Still haven't got any replies suggesting any reason for lockups I'm seeing (no oopses). Or is the Promise driver just buggy, because system is solid with noautotune. RAID5 (md) on that server is just little bit sluggish with ~1.7 MB/s transfer rate... I should have stayed with SCSI disks... Can't use the VIA controller either, because there are four HDDs and one CD and the system can't boot from CD connected to Promise controller (I tested). Is there somewhere some up-to-date list of "don't buy that hardware"? - Jussi Laako -- PGP key fingerprint: 161D 6FED 6A92 39E2 EB5B 39DD A4DE 63EB C216 1E4B Available at PGP keyservers
