Hi, I followed this a bit and read this message, also. What you have done is to reduce the speed of the pci bus from 41.5 MHZ to normal 33 MHZ; most of the "older" pci cards or the cheaper ones (but Adaptecs, also) do not work stable with a higher pci speed. Normally the async option should reduce the speed always to 33 MHZ (async to memory but it seems, that it often does not work).
