Particularly APIC for IRQ routing? This happens on drives on both the Intel 965 chipset motherboard ports and PCI-e x1 cards, and the cables are not the issue (the cables with 12 other 150 raptors have no issues) (same cables I used with them)). With NCQ on or OFF it occurs. $ ls 0/ 10/ 12/ 14/ 16/ 18/ 2/ 3/ 5/ 7/ 9/ runtest.sh* 1/ 11/ 13/ 15/ 17/ 19/ 20/ 4/ 6/ 8/ linux-2.6.25.10.tar $ cat runtest.sh #!/bin/bash for i in `seq 0 20` do cd $i
