I have a problem with some host: If I put heavy IO load on that system, write errors happen, and then it crashes. CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz RAM: 8 GB RAM with the following SATA controller: OS: 8.3-REL amd64 Board (from dmidecode): Manufacturer: Intel Corporation Product Name: IRONLAKE & IBEX PEAK Chipset The controller: ahci0: port 0x1840-0x1847,0x1814-0x1817,0x1818-0x181f,0x1810-0x1813,0x1820-0x183f mem 0xf4d04000-0xf4d047ff irq 19 at device 31.2 on pci0 pciconf -lvb says: ahci0@pci0:0:31:2: class=0x010601 card=0x3b208086 chip=0x3b228086 rev=0x06 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'IBEX AHCI Controller(6Port) (Intel Q57 Express)' class = mass storage subclass = SATA bar [10] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0x1840, size 8, enabled bar [14] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0x1814, size 4, enabled bar [18] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0x1818, size 8, enabled bar [1c] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0x1810, size 4, enabled bar [20] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0x1820, size 32, enabled bar [24] = type Memory, range 32, base 0xf4d04000, size 2048, enabled AHCI is enabled.

I tried different SATA cables, different ports on the board, different drives, always the same. So I suspect the controller -- has anyone experience with that controller ? -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 8 years to go !
