For what it is worth, in the recent postings I made about this topic, you suggested that it was bad cabling, I swapped the cabling, same problem. I swapped the mother board from Abit K7T to ASUS A7V and all cables worked fine.
I really think there is a software problem in there with certain chipsets, those from VIA seem to be problematic. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
