Thank you for your recommendation. Only now I had the opportunity to test the system with the Feral driver. However, my attempt failed miserably. The driver was compiled as module under a 2.4.22 kernel and included into the initrd image. On boot-up the driver appeared to load and recognize the disks but the system hung subsequently with the error message isp: NOT RESPONSE in RESPONSE QUEUE (type ...... which seems to be the error messages for not responding ( notresp[] in isp.c ) Does anyone have an idea what the cause of that problem might be ?
