The error you're reporting comes from the 1540's on board firmware. It doesn't seem to like that drive. The firmware is beyond the realm of the kernel driver, so I doubt that any tweaking on your part can fix the problem. You may want to contact IBM and adaptec to make sure you have the latest revion of the firmware for both products. >Thanks, >Jim Rowan -- Justin T.
