Alon,
You are a star. Moved my NIC into another PCI slot so that it
doesn't share an IRQ with the raid controller and I no
longer see the "Drive interrupt timeout.(1), status = d0"
errors.
The USB controllers still share an IRQ with the RAID, but don't
seem to cause a problem (possibly because I'm not using any
of them).
Now all I need to do is get native ataraid working - anybody
any ideas (see my previous post)?!?
Thanks again for your help
Cheers
Mark
