FWIW, I run an ASUS P3B-F (440BX chipset) with a 20267 add-on card and a WD Caviar WD800JB UDMA100 disk as a server spooling News and other high-volume data. Even when moving GBs of data around as fast as the disk can read or write it, the system has never been less than rock solid with the 2.6 kernels.
Of course, ACPI is disabled and the 20267 is not sharing interrupts with anything else. - 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/
