Anyone using Tyan Thunder K8W motherboards???
I now know, there is a K8S (server?) version of that mobo, but at the time it was all orderd, I wasn't aware of it - my thoughts are there there is some sort of PCI/PCI-X problem with either the motherboard or the chipset, and in all probability the K8S mobo will have the same chipsset and same problems anyway...
I'm using a K8W at work as a driver client for NAS testing. Onboard Broadcom GigE, Linksys Marvell GigE, 2xWD1200JD + 2xMaxtor Maxline Plus II as RAID-0 and RAID-5 using the Sil_3114, 2.4.29, raidtools 1.0. 2+2x1GB PC-2700 in first and third slots for each CPU. All PCI-X/HT configs set to Auto in BIOS and Jumpers, 2.02b BIOS. No issues except for a bad SATA cable.
Striping yields ~90MB/s, RAID-5 about 65r, 55w on 8GB Bonnie++ runs, 2GB dd reads on raw devices yields ~55MB/s
Fedora Core 2 tests next week.
