Grrrr..... that sucks (for me anyway :)

I'll give that a shot.  Maybe it's something in the preemp or low
latency that's causing problems.  Have you used any other kernels?
Another thing that might be causing it is heat (my office is pretty
warm), assuming you have lm_sensors set up what sort of heat output do
you have?

Strange, I have the same controller with 3x80 on it (for a file storage
raid5 array) that was being used only in linux before, but when I booted
up I was getting all sorts of "lost interrupt" messages and the boot
process just ground to a halt until I unplugged all the drives from the
card.  This was happening just doing the kernel probing on boot, before
trying to mount them or anything.  Maybe the kernel again....  I moved
the drives over to my http/ftp server though, probably a better place
for them anyway...

Do you think maybe you could send me your .config, just in case I have
some sort of strangeness going on that I missed?

TIA
