Hello all
I just put a Promise Technology SATA 300 TX2plus card back in my computer in
order to use
the new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 1TB SATA 7200RPM hard drive that I
bought.
openSUSE recognized the new drive when I booted up and I ran yast2 and formated
it ext3
(931 Go) with no problems
The new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 1TB tested OK with hdparm (75.74
MB/sec) but
when I try to copy files (say 10 Go +) from a Seagate ST3750640A 750 Go PATA
hard drive to
the new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 sata drive running off the Promise
Technology
SATA 300 TX2plus card my computer freezes up after a few minutes.
The motherboard is an old Tyan Tiger MPX (S2466). The board uses DDR PC2700
• CL=2.5 •
Registered • ECC memory from Crucial. I have 4 sticks of RAM (3 x 1 Go + 1
256 Mo)
I first thought that it was a RAM problem but after pulling various sticks of
RAM off the
board and trying different combinaisons and re running the copy test the
computer still
freezes up after a few minutes.... Don't know what to think now.
I am planning on re installing openSUSE 10.2 and re running the same tests but
I would like
to know if anyone else has had any similar problems.
All comments or thoughts weclome.
Regards
James
My motherboard is the Asus MN2-SLI Deluxe, 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+. I boot
off a 320G SATA drive and the spare drive is a 250G IDE, it also worked
the other way round with no problems.
Both the one IDE and the SATA controllers are built-in.
One suggestion is to try installing 10.3 on the SATA drive without the
IDE drive attached to see if it's a SATA or possibly a BIOS problem.
Regards
Sid.
