Thanks. Fixed now.

guys,
I asked a friend to lend us his card, which is the card2 listed below
and not things are becoming really weird
card1, Silicon Image, Inc. Adaptec AAR-1210SA
card2, Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3124 PCI-X Serial ATA
the card1 is a PCI32 bit card, and uses the "sata_sil" driver
the card2 is a PCI64 bit card, and uses the "sata_sil24" driver
card1 is installed in a PCI32 slot, and it's moving 32Gbyte in a loop
without any issue
I have just tested card2 in each of the PCI-X slot (including the 3.3V
one) and ... it has always triggered the HPMC unit, crashing the
machine
the hardware is different, and drivers are also different, but ....
maybe the problem is related to 32 vs 64bit?
I am going to repeat the test with card2 installed in a PCI32 slot.
This should force it to 32bit: will it work correctly?
(hope this makes sense)

PCI-32/33 device I/O bus
PCI-64/33 high-performance device I/O bus <----------------- this is
PCI-X, 64bit 5V
PCI-64/66 high-performance graphics I/O bus <----------------- this is
PCI-X, 64bit 3.3V

The c3600 doesn't have any PCI-X slots (only PCI) as far as I can tell from user manuals.
The SY-PCX40009 PCI-X card that I have says it supports two models: 32-bit at 66 MHz and 64-bit
at 133 MHz. The 32-bit slots in c3600 are 33 MHz. Whether the card will work at 33 MHz is not
clear. The card says it's backward compatible to PCI 2.3.

hi, good news!
after a burn-in test of 8hours, we can affirm that Adaptec 1210SA does work
The chip is "Silicon Image Sil31122", so the kernel module is
"sata_sil" (not sata_sil24)
while [ 1 ]
do
for item in `ls *.bin`
do
rm -f $copy.out
echo -n "$item ... "
mycp $item $copy.out
echo "done"
done
done
*.bin are giant files, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB
it has been tested on a PCI 32bit lost of a C3600
with kernel /v4.16!!!
"mycp" does a copy and then checks the md5 checksum
I think this card can be added to the list!
Our list has been already updated

I think that you are wrong. HP would have said the slots were PCI-X compatible if they were.
They did in c8000.
The issue is probably the signalling voltage and clock rate capability. 33 MHz always uses 5V
signalling whereas PCX-X cards typically support 66 and 133 MHz. Thus, I think PCI-X cards use
CMOS 3.3V signalling although they may accept 5V on their inputs. If the c3600 uses older
TTL logic, it is likely that 3.3V CMOS logic can't provide the high level for 5V TTL logic.
I suspect the only slot that might work with a PCI-X card is the 3.3V SL2. However, if you see I/O errors
in the PIM dump following a HPMC, then it's not compatible.
So, probably you would have better luck with the PCI Syba SD-SATA150R in c3600. However, it is similar
to the Adaptec 1210SA which works. Maybe they differ in RAID capability.
