I just recently purchased a 3ware Escalade 7410 Raid controller card (driver twe#). Well, I have the feeling I'm really going to love this card, if it worked properly. The problem is this. Whenever I reboot the computer, the card doesn't get detected again, and thus the file systems won't mount. This isn't good for a system that's going to be co-lo'ed about 3 hours away. When I turn the computer completely off, and turn it back on, the card does get detected, however on a reboot, I get these errors: twe0: controller errors detected retry 1 twe0: controller errors detected retry 2 twe0: controller errors detected It stops retrying and bombs out after that. Any idea on what could be causing that? I don't believe the problem lies within the card, I tried installing windows 2000 just as a test to see if that would have the same problems, and it didn't unfortunately. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW. My motherboard is a Asus P3B-f (Pentium III 500mhz), 512mb ram, 2x 40g WD hard drives. Sorry about the lame-o Hotmail account, reverse DNS isn't working for my mail server, so this is just a quick workaround.
