I've lost some of mails about siimage on LKML, but Im' getting more and more confused about 'hangs' probably caused by siimage driver. I was using 15 rqsize, now 128 - doesn't matter. It happens in random moments - sometimes at boot time when drive is fscked, sometimes when I'm trying to copy large amount of data and sometimes without any particular reason after several hours. I've updated MB (a7n8x deluxe rev 2.0) BIOS but controller (which is on-board) bios seems to be untouched (4.1.25 or so ). Is there any controller BIOS update which I could miss? what can be other reason? -- Witold Kręcicki (adasi) adasi [at] culm.net GPG key: 7AE20871 http://www.culm.net - 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/
