Konstantin,
Faulty hardware is a possibility, but it doesn't explain why SuSE 6.4 works flawlessley on the same system, from the IDE drives. The CPU is not overclocked, although as I explained in a message to Jerry Kreps, this used to be a windows machine, and we did have some difficulty in the summer time with crashes which I believe were due to an overheated CPU. We bumped the fan up, and the problems went away.
Specifically what controller are you using? There are 2 or 3 different variations of the Tekram 390. I'm using a 390F for example. Also, what driver are you loading for it? There is also more than one driver that will function. For the 390F, the best choice (according to my interpretation of the kernel docs) is the SYM53c8xx driver. I have also used the NCR53C8XX driver without problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns jkarns@csd.net
