My board's BIOS has settings for reserving interrupt lines for ISA cards. Maybe your BIOS is similar and you got this setting wrong in the new system. If the interrupt line is not connected from the ISA slot to the interrupt controller the card can't send an interrupt on completion of a command and that results in such a timeout. > This same drive and card worked fine under FreeBSD in the other system > just last night. Different settings in the BIOS maybe? Or even a system w/o PCI and PnP?
