howdy guys.
I have a BP6 with dual 500's. I am using the HPT366 controller and my only
HD is a Seagate ST330630A. I have been running stable since 4.3 on it. I
have had no rebooting problems. yet. =/
as far as getting that promise card, I would say not yes, but hell yes.(if
your budget can take it) the HPT controller is also notorious for screwing
up things in Win NT 5 (2000).
this is where my help gets vague. About 2 months ago I read ( I think it was
www.hardocp.com ) that there was a problem with IBM drives in that they are
only designed to run 8-10 hours a day. This was confirmed by an IBM tech
person. any more time can cause the HD to fail. I assume a HD sending bad
signals could reboot a machine. I will work on getting you a link.

But Im not using the ata66 controller on the m/b. Im only using the ata33
controller, see below. Or they are the same chipset? And so what you are
saying is that its not a hardware but a software problem? But sometimes it
doesn't lock up.
I allways have my computer on so I noticed that it hade
rebooted one time sometime under night because when read the uptime it
was wasen't more then 12-24 h something and before it was over 22 days.
Last time I tried to use my ata66 controler on my bp6 m/b, it kernel
paniced after a very short time if I don't remember wrong.
host# atacontrol list
ATA channel 0:
Master: ad0 <IC35L060AVER07-0/ER6OA44A> ATA/ATAPI rev 5
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 1:
Master: ad2 <IBM-DTLA-307045/TX6OA60A> ATA/ATAPI rev 5
Slave: ad3 <WDC WD1000BB-50CCB0/22.04A22> ATA/ATAPI rev 5
ATA channel 2:
Master: no device present
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 3:
Master: no device present
Slave: no device present
Anyway thanks for the answer, and do you think I will help if a get
another ata controller? Like a ata133 promise controller?
