There are some patches to 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 kernels on promise.com but they are for the Ultra 133TX controller. Maybe they'll help... There was also some discussion of this on the kernel list. >From what I recall, the promise chipsets just stall the PCI bus if they get confused stalling the machine.. I don't remember exactly what was said since I'm not using these controllers anyway... did you try 2.4.20 or later kernels? - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
