The problem I'm having is that it's REALLY slow and crashy. The kernel reports this on bootup: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00beta4-2.4 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx NFORCE2: IDE controller at PCI slot 00:09.0 NFORCE2: chipset revision 162 NFORCE2: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later AMD_IDE: Bios didn't set cable bits corectly.

Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hde: unknown partition table hdg: unknown partition table The nforce2 ide controller works great, as does the drive on it. When I try to use either of the drives on the siimage controller, it brings everything else on my system to a temporary halt, and hdparm -t reports about 1.3MB/sec reads. This is a bummer, as I was hoping to RAID 0 them together and make them my boot drives :) If I try and enable DMA, the machine instantly hardlocks. I'm running debian sarge, if it matters. Is there anything I should try, or is the siimage driver just still very early on in its development? I would be more than happy to beta- (or alpha) test code, or give developers access to my box if testbed platforms are needed. Whatever I can do to make it work :) Thanks very much in advance -Josiah Computer Guy Hampshire College School of NS Amherst, MA 01002 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
