Greetings! I'm rebuilding my file server that has an AOpen MX64 Pro II (Via MVP4 chipset with ATA66) motherboard with a Cyrix M2 PR333 cpu. My Linux installation is SuSE 6.3 with the 2.2.16 kernel from SuSE 7.0. I'm trying to set up two Quantum hard drives for a RAID 1 configuration and a Promise ATA33 controller card. The drives previously worked in another system with an Promise ATA66 card, and works fine with the motherboard built-in ATA66 controller. If I don't have the drives connected to the controller card, the controller BIOS won't install and I can boot up into Linux normally. If I have one or both drives connected, the controller BIOS will install but I can't get into Linux. After the configurations for the controllers and hard drive specs are listed, the first hard drive is listed again and the system freezes. (This is before the message for floppy drive driver is shown; sometimes the floppy drive light turns on.) It does seems like a conflict between the controller card and the floppy drive. I'm not sure what the problem is. Thanks! Christopher Reimer
