[opensuse-factory] Any known bugs in a in mixed IDE/SATA environment on 10.3?
Hello all I just put a Promise Technology SATA 300 TX2plus card back in my computer in order to use the new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 1TB SATA 7200RPM hard drive that I bought. openSUSE recognized the new drive when I booted up and I ran yast2 and formated it ext3 (931 Go) with no problems The new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 1TB tested OK with hdparm (75.74 MB/sec) but when I try to copy files (say 10 Go +) from a Seagate ST3750640A 750 Go PATA hard drive to the new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 sata drive running off the Promise Technology SATA 300 TX2plus card my computer freezes up after a few minutes. The motherboard is an old Tyan Tiger MPX (S2466). The board uses DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • Registered • ECC memory from Crucial. I have 4 sticks of RAM (3 x 1 Go + 1 256 Mo) I first thought that it was a RAM problem but after pulling various sticks of RAM off the board and trying different combinaisons and re running the copy test the computer still freezes up after a few minutes.... Don't know what to think now. I am planning on re installing openSUSE 10.2 and re running the same tests but I would like to know if anyone else has had any similar problems. All comments or thoughts weclome.

The new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 1TB tested OK with hdparm (75.74 MB/sec) but when I try to copy files (say 10 Go +) from a Seagate ST3750640A 750 Go PATA hard drive to the new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 sata drive running off the Promise Technology SATA 300 TX2plus card my computer freezes up after a few minutes.

My motherboard is the Asus MN2-SLI Deluxe, 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+. I boot off a 320G SATA drive and the spare drive is a 250G IDE, it also worked the other way round with no problems. Both the one IDE and the SATA controllers are built-in. One suggestion is to try installing 10.3 on the SATA drive without the IDE drive attached to see if it's a SATA or possibly a BIOS problem.

For info # My problem / situation I added a Promise Technology SATA 300 TX2plus card to an existing installation of 10.3 on an old Tyan Tiger MPX (S2466) in order to use a new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 1TB SATA 7200RPM hard drive that I had just bought. openSUSE recognized the new drive when I booted up and I ran yast2 and formated it ext3 (931 Go) with no problems The new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 1TB tested OK with hdparm (75.74 MB/sec) but when I tried to copy files (say 10 Go + by line command) from a Seagate ST3750640A 750 Go PATA hard drive to the new Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 sata drive running off the Promise Technology SATA 300 TX2plus card my computer would freeze up after a few minutes. # Solution # I re installed 10.2 with the Promise Technology SATA 300 TX2plus card and the Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 1TB *** already installed **** no more problem # I re installed 10.3 (which which has spoilte to 10.2) with the Promise Technology SATA 300 TX2plus card and the Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda ES.2 1TB *** already installed **** no more problem. End of problem voilà et voilà Regards James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
