Re: 3Ware Escalade problem
I have the same problem on Asus p2bds. But i am just ignoring it and it has been discussed several time in the past. AFAIK the problem is that asus p2b is PCI 2.1 and this 3ware controller needs fully working PCI 2.2. So, you can either patch twe.c to disable the error message or change your motherboard to something newer. I chose to patch the twe.c and not see this error ever.

Re: 3Ware Escalade problem
Hi, that sounds very familiar to me. I had exactly the same problems using 3ware Escalade Controllers on several "older" Mainboards. Try using a newer Board with an actual Chipset and I bet it will work fine! I think it's a problem with PCI-Version.

It will only run 64bit on many board (most of the Intel server boards for example). You may want to check that list for your board(s) (I was too lazy to look it up). Also, I've seen some of the 7500's still shipping w/ old firmware. And, like a lot of PCI problems, it could be the slot. If you can, move it to a different slot. I've also seen this problem on riser cards that share the same pci slot with other cards. Some of the newer risers have little daughter-boards that plug into adjacent slots to rememdy that problem.
