Hi
Yes, Linux gives single iterrupt to both and that it is not a problem, as
long as Kernel has PCI interrupt sharing support. Forget windows, it just
uses its own IRQ steering and uses FT as a SCSI device. If you are using
native ataraid in Linux, Linux uses your disks as real IDE disks not SCSI.

I used to get 'lost interrupt' on my rackmount. I upgraded to RH7.2,
disabled IRQ for modem, USB, VGA in BIOS (because I dont use them). Then
the problem went away.
