Hello, Jeremy.

I'm working on a system (K8N-DL) with a 3114 driver running 2.6.12 and
experiencing lockups on heavy disk access. This is the built-in on an
ASUS-K8N-DL board. I was wondering if the following problem is
symptomatic of a known bug.
I will get momentary freezes, and then I'll continue. At some point
though, the disk access will freeze--no panic, but a lockup of all disk
access. I have configured the first drive as a single drive
concatenation in the "RAID" bootup and haven't done anything with the
second drive. The large logical partition on each drive is configured
with software RAID.
You're the second person reporting similar problem with ASUS K8N-DL
board. Please see the following threads.

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null can reproduct error, as can several
disk-intensive activities
In the following mail, I've attached a patch which might alleviate
errors during writes (as Alexander was reporting CRC errors with write
commands), but it won't do any good if you're getting errors during reading.

Carlos and Paul, do you guys know anything about this mainboard?
Should we perform some special tweaking to get these boards work? I'll
dig 3112/3114 document further but I'm not very sure what I should look for.
Thanks.
