IRQ 27. Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=40.Max Lat=25. I/O at 0xd800 [0xd8ff]. Non-prefetchable 64 bit memory at 0xfeaff000 [0xfeafffff]. Bus 0, device 5, function 0: SCSI storage controller: Adaptec 7899P (rev 1). IRQ 26. Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=40.Max Lat=25. I/O at 0xd000 [0xd0ff]. Non-prefetchable 64 bit memory at 0xfeafc000 [0xfeafcfff]. I tried both updating driver for kernel 2.4.18-ac3 and switching to kernel 2.4.19-pre3-ac1 - the same effect. Though on another computer with Asus P2B-DS motherboard (onboard aic7890) kernel 2.4.19-pre3-ac1 works fine. Regards, Andrey. -- A right thing should be simple (tm)
