Apparently here is the base issue: The device I am using does not work with the Linux driver, and an Adaptec 320 controller running at 320, it works with the same controller running at 160. It fails under vanilla 2.6.13.3 kernel, and all other recent ones that we tried. It will work on the same machine with Windows and a Adaptec 320 controller, but only if the windows machine has a new driver. The error it gives looks very similar to a cabling issue, and we had ruled out cabling as we had replaced all combinations of cables, and tried 2 separate Adaptec cards both of which failed, and tried different devices. I works fine with a LSILogic 320 and the associated mpt driver. I believe the OEM is going to be either fixing their device (if it is their fault) , or informing Adaptec about the issue if they believe it is an Adaptec driver issue. Roger
