Re: Promise Fasttrack: lost interrupt.

[Arjan van Staalduijnen <staaldui@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using two drives on the Fasttrack controller, both on their own 
cable and both running as master... just for wiring purposes I have one 
disc connected to the second connector of the cable, while the other is 
connected to the connector halfway down the cable. Apparantly the drives 
get assigned a different drive character then. I've now switched both 
cables (again just for wiring purposes, keeping the internals of the box 
neat) and now one drive is hde and the other is hdh...

I have been playing around with different DMA settings for the drives, 
other compile options for the kernel, but still with no improvement; 
still getting the same errors repeatedly... can you tell me what 
settings you're using?

Regards,

Arjan


PS. I don't think it matters, but I'm using two Maxtor DX740 80GB drives 
on this controller...
