Nope. Booting normally gives automatic reboot. Booting with 'noacpi' I have to C-A-D it myself to get it to reboot. booting with 'acpi=off' results in a hard lock, only thing that works is the powerswitch. Remowing the HighPoint controller from the system does not make a difference. This leads me to belive that the error comes either from the md startup, or from the aic7880... pre3.1, pre3.2 and pre4.1 does not work on this system, only pre2.1 and older... I noticed in the: [CHRPM] kernel-2.4.21.0.pre3.1mdk-1-1mdk changelog: * aic7xxx integrated upstream. This does not show up in the kernel.org changelog, and since it seems to be the only change from pre2.1 to newer ones that could directly impact my system it would be nice to know what's changed... I'll try to build a new kernel from the kernel.org sources tonight, and see the problem exists there too.. Thomas
