When I use sata raid 0 or raid 1 (VIA VT8237 controller) and the Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet onboard controller with motherboard Asus A8V Deluxe the system is hanging either during boot or shortly after that (probably aftr network activity and or disk access)), only hard reset will wake up the computer. When I use a SMC gigabit ethernet card (which also uses the Marvell chip) I get the same lock up. Sofar I don't have other 1 gigabit ethernet cards, so I tried a 100 Mbit ethernet card (Intel Ethernet Pro 100) The kernel is 2.6.11.4-21.8-default (64 bit). Is this still remaining problem related to previous Marvell problems in SuSE 9.3 ? Who can help.
