I have a similar system to yours, but I have drives only on the hpt370 
controller. My system boots, but crashes after 5 to 15 minuttes regardless 
of usage. (I've posted this to this list on a previous occation.) 

My system is running on dual P3-866 cpu's, but I don't think that this is of 
any importance to the configuration. I haven't really tried to run any 
patches. Do you have any similar problems when running a clean 2.4.18? Or 
does your system only freeze?

I haven't tried this. But my system is not exactly freezing, just I cant 
access the drives anymore.

If u find anything that works, could you send me a note aswell? Since I've 
been wanting to run Linux on my machine for a while now and my systems seems 
to preform better when the drives are connected to the HPT370 than the other 
internal VIA ide controller. Atleast this is the 'general' feeling I have 
after experimenting with a few things under windows 2000 pro. 

Best regards,
