It works just fine with both Windoze and SUSE Linux. When I tried booting 6.2 on it, it refused to set the drive (ad0 - I tried several different drives) into the higher speed UDMA modes. So, I downloaded 6.3, and it *seemed* to be fine. The drives come up as UDMA 100 or UDMA 133. But ... under long disk operations - say untaring a 2G tarball stored on a USB drive - I start to see this: ad0: WARNING WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC ERROR And eventually: ad0: FAILURE WRITE_DMA Status=51 .... Error=84 g_vfs_done():ad0s1f ... What's going on here? Is there a known driver problem with the VIA chipsets? I took the two drives I tried this with, and stuck them in another machine - no problem, so I kind of doubt this is a drive problem. I have replaced the IDE cables as well. Again, this same mobo and drive combo worked flawlessly doing the same thing under SUSE Linux, so I'm thinking this is a software problem. Any help much appreciated... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
