Part of me > wonders if it is causing a problem, but I don't see any > resources being shared... I've confirmed that my problem in the Promise driver is NOT related to the HPT366 device. I swapped the promise card (And the drives attached to it) to another board, and it hung at the same step in the boot process - right after finding the drive(s) on the system chipset's controller, where it should then begin finding stuff on the Promise... but it can't. At this point I guess I'm down to waiting. I don't want to be stuck using it with the generic driver and thus getting hideous performance. I've done everything that I know how to do; I'm not much of a coder (especially not C). If I thought I could fix it myself I'd try. :) Hopefully someone becomes my savior before I start looking to *BSD for an answer... I really don't want to lose all of the data on these drives (XFS & LVM aren't supported anywhere else) and I have no easy way to back them up. That's the biggest thing keeping me on linux at the moment. I'll wait patiently now, I know that gurus musn't be pestered. ;) --Braden - 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/
