I have an A7N8X Deluxe motherboard with built in Sil3112a serial ata controller and a Seagate Barracuda serial ata harddisk. I'm getting random, or semi-random system lockups. The lockups happen more when the system is under load. This is documented well on sites like http://www.nforcershq.com I also do not get a harddrive led (for activity). I have tried all the fixes I can find in the archives. the: echo max_kb_per_request:15 > /proc/ide/hde/settings
hdparm -X66 -d1 /dev/hde and I still get the lockups. All the discusion I can find about this issue is 2 months old did I miss the fix? I'm assumeing (hopeing) that this is going to be fixed or has been fixed in a new kernel. I'm using gs-sources 2.4.22_pre2. My questions are: If you have the same or similar settup to me how are you doing? How can I tell which version of the sil3112a driver the kernel I'm using has? If I can find a new sil3112 driver, can I patch the gs-sources kernel or do I have to go vanilla? Any good sites to find more info? thanks -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
