Hi, I am trying to install 6.0-RC1 on a system with a Promise SX4060 (PDC20621) + 4 Maxtor ATA-133 drives (6E040L0). The mobo is a Tyan Thunder LE (S2510). The card appears to be detected ok (tho the exact text rushes past before I can read it completely), but the drive probing fails completely: ad4 : FAILURE - SET FEATURES TRANSFER MODE timed out. ad4 : FAILURE - SET FEATURES RCACHE timed out. ad4 : FAILURE - SET FEATURES WCACHE timed out. ad4 : FAILURE - SET FEATURES SET_MULTI. ad4 : FAILURE - READ timed out (LBA = 80293185) ad4 : FAILURE - READ retrying (0 retries left) LBA = 0 .. ad4 : req = 0xc3b78960 SET FEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE semaphore timeout !!DANGER WILL ROBINSON!! .. .. (hand copied as I don't have a serial console) Note that using a TX2000 on this machine (with the same drives) works flawlessly. Any suggestions about how to proceed (I would like to get this going) Cheers Markhome | help
