The reason it is doing this is because this drive is connected using an adapter that converts an LC/LV (is this correct, off the top of my head) interface into a standard SCSI (narrow) interface. Could this be HELPING me here? Probably the opposite, but thats what you meant anyway, right :- I saw this on two Intel 440LX dual pIII 500/550 mobos, a bit different in age and scsi composition. I didn't install on either, but neither mobos wouldn't recognize _any_ disks to better than 20MB/s, if at all, using some unnamed converter. Same disks (IBM 18G DDYS 10K + 9G DNES 7200) worked just fine with same converter and a 29160 controller. -- Kind regards, Mogens Valentin - 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/
