If the PIO and UDMA modes are setup correctly I can't think of anything inside the IDE driver that should be causing random lockups. I'd be much more suspicious of ACPI / APIC / interrupt setup. -Allen > -----Original Message----- > From: ross.alexander@uk.neceur.com > [mailto:ross.alexander@uk.neceur.com] > Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 6:35 AM > To: Brad House > Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org > Subject: Re: nforce2 stability on 2.6.0-test5 and 2.6.0-test9 > > > Brad, > > My problem is one of the infamous nforce2 hardlockups.
