System:
Asus P2B-D
+ 2 * Promise UDMA/66 controllers
+ 1 * Adaptec 2940UW
+ 1 * 3com 3c905b
and dual p2-450 / 512mb ram
+ 1 * 9.1u2w ibm scsi hd
+ 5 * 25gb ibm ide hd (1 on the onboard controller and 4 on the promise
controllers)
running now in UP mode, because in SMP mode the system just crashes when
trying to fsck the raid partition (after a few seconds)
just mounting it works, but also just for a few moment
when not turning the raid on (so no ide usage) the system runs ok (not
tried for days)
