Could you please show your 'pciconf -lv | grep -A3 ata' output? My 1435 says: atapci1@pci0:2:1: class=0x01018a card=0x01eb1028 chip=0x02141166 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 ~ vendor = 'ServerWorks (Was: Reliance Computer Corp)' ~ class = mass storage ~ subclass = ATA - -- atapci0@pci3:14:0: class=0x01018f card=0x01eb1028 chip=0x024b1166 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 ~ vendor = 'ServerWorks (Was: Reliance Computer Corp)' ~ class = mass storage ~ subclass = ATA But it's an SC1435 with SAS disks I believe, so things may different. Also, will it be possible if you find some output from vmstat -i?
