Leonard,
This is a copy of a mail I sent a few days ago without having received any answer.
Hmmm. My mail log shows no email from you arriving at my site in the last month except for this message. I suggest you check your logs to see if it was really sent.
Can you pls have a look ? This problem is still pending and solved by the moment with a system shutdown each 3 days. It feels that the more we keep the system without a shutdown the more we have this problem, but this remember me Window$ NT !!
Thanks is advance.

There should be no reason that interrupts cannot be shared between the DAC960 and Adaptec drivers, but that's not a configuration I've ever tried. In order to look into this further, I'm going to need a more complete description of your hardware, including motherboard, processors, chipset, and RAID subsystem. Spontaneous hanging has been reported previously with some non-Intel chipsets, which immediately disappeared when an Intel chipset based board was used. I worked on debugging one such case and we were never able to create a completely reliable system.
As for IPI, that's an Inter-Processor Interrupt used for signalling between processors.
