I'm running S/W raid-1 with 2 18G seagate barracuda on a Initio
1060P U2W SCSI Controller and a C&T 69000 VGA controller for
AGP interface on Linux RH 6.2.
Initially this works fine, untill I start using S/W raid-1.
My XFont-server fails immediately.
If I already have XFree86-3.3.6-20 running it starts cycling
to get the display going but never does.
If I attempt to run XF86Setup it freezes the computer tighter
than a ...
I have several of these boxes and the same thing occurs on all
of them.
The only possible explanation I can think of is that the SCSI
controller and the VGA controller are on the same interrupt,
but there is no way to change that as they are both embedded
into the Peak 635 series motherboards, and I don't think this
should make any difference.
Does anyone know if the XFree86 or XFont-server somehow try to
use the interrupt and possibly hang the SCSI controller?
Is there any other explanation I can try?
Hugh.
