I don't have any of the errors handy, but I know it's not fixed in Ubuntu 8.04LTS (with latest updates) or the newest Knoppix.
Here are some links I found when I was looking around for the errors. http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2007-10/msg00382.html http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2008-10/msg02255.html The first link talks about the corruption problem, The second link I found when searching for my error, but again, I don't recall what my specific error was. There are a lot of reports about the card having problems coming back online after being in standby, but I had all ACPI stuff turned off so that wasn't my problem. Of course, it's possible that my card just died and it's not a kernel problem. If that's the case, that card is barely a year old, so I still wouldn't recommend it on that grounds. The card did work for about the last year at least if that's worth anything... -Joe Alex Dean wrote: > > On Feb 6, 2009, at 12:15 PM, Joe Fleming wrote: > >> First off, in the past I have recommended the Promise TX4 SATA >> controller.
