Hi,

Below some more info on my two systems:

(this machine has hyperthreading and SMP enabled - shows up as processor #1 but this was left out here)

The promise card has IRQ 18 all by itself

And the machine that does have problems, what chipset does it have?

The promise card is sharing IRQ11 with usb, the other libata device, and nForce2 (wonder what that is?)

I'm actually beginning to think there's some PCI compatibility breakage
somewhere, as I too see sata_promise working fine in some machines but
not in others. Alas, my knowledge of PCI tweakables is close to nil.

I second that (although I'm really clueless about PCI).

Could it be that at 3.0Gbps with 4 ports running at full speed contention on the pci bus cause this behavior? This would explain why a PCI-X port helps (or limiting to 1.5Gbps). Or maybe it is an NFORCE2 issue... Or too many IRQ-handlers on the same IRQ...

I wish I could do something more to help. Unfortunately it is almost impossible for me to do tests on the Intel system (as it is a production system) - though I might be able to try some things late at night in the weekends ;-)

Guess at this point it would be nice to be able to reproduce the behavior on an Intel system...

Best regards,

Peter
