Hmmm, our 1600SC is running fine (under pretty heavy load), we have the Perc IDE RAID in it, we're running 2.4.21-0.22mdk on it (I think ... we might have updated to 2.4.21-0.25mdk but we needed XFS before 0.25mdk was available), which is Danny's kernel from Club. Our 2500 (with the Perc SCSI RAID) is doing fine too, it seems it is about 145 days since we did the last kernel update ... Anyway, if you can give more detail about exactly what card and driver is being used, I can take a look (I know a few others that run either 9.0 or 9.1 on 1600SCs with no problems too ...).
