Varian, there is a known problem with Maxtor drives and nForce4 chipsets (and the problem appears on other chipsets as well, I see it on Intel 5000X, but less often). It can be fixed with a firmware update to the disk; you'll have to send email to Maxtor (that's Seagate now) support and they'll send you the firmware back by email. The "good" firmware is VA111680, the "bad" VA111630 if I remember correctly. This at least applies to 6V250F0 (and other sizes) and probably 7Vxxxxx drives. HTH, Kay
Might one be safe to assume that this is a SATA-specific issue? I have two PATA Maxtor drives in my home system and have had 0 trouble with them using an NFORCE4M-A m/b. -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-330-7691 - fax _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
