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.
