Andre, you asked what kind of drive I tested with. I tried the following combinations:
1. first channel: QUANTUM FIREBALL ST3.2A second channel: WDC AC313000R (master) and ST52520A
2. first channel: WDC AC313000R (master) and ST52520A second channel: unused
3. first channel: WDC AC313000R second channel: unused
4. first channel: ST52520A second channel: unused
5. first channel: QUANTUM FIREBALL CR13.0A second channel: unused
I can only force the problem by stressing the disk (i.e. dd if=/dev/hde). Currently I only have one disk on it (the small Seagate) and that is part of a software raid. But if I use the HPT driver the machine will always crash.
I have noticed that it is much easier to get a problem (i.e. on the first try) if I combine the test with some tcpblast through a NIC on the same IRQ as the HPT.
I did not have the same problems with my older Soyo 6KD motherboard and a HPT on a card. At least I think so, I never stress tested it. At that time it only had the Seagate on it. But when I use that card on the Abit I still have problems.
I do not remember if on the Soyo the HPT also shared an IRQ. But I can reproduce the problem (although it takes more time) without any cards in the machine (except VGA).
I seem to remember that I get an instant crash when I try to use a CD drive on the HPT. I can verify this if you want me to.
