IT WORKS :-) now my question is: Can some body with more experience in driver progging than me have a look at that? How can we make sure (if my merging is ok) to bring that in one of the next updates? thanks Frank Frank Sander wrote: <blockquote cite="mid42601DC8.3090907@vodafone.de" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <title></title> Hi folks, after checking several options in the modprobe.conf and also the mentioned acpi=off if have to give up. nothing changed the situation decribed before. what I do not understand: I get the fault message and it looks on the traffic analyser that I get it before the traffic stops =-O !?!? than the traffic stops (I guess due to the transmitter reset) and than it comes back. Unfortunately I can not proper analyse the traffic outside the interface because the machine is ~1000km away from me. Anyway I have the feeling, that the timeout comes together with a set of collisions on the network. Can that? Does any body have an idea how this time out is created in the module? see you all Frank Mary Ellen Foster wrote: <blockquote cite="midf58861e005041504107292b893@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On 4/15/05, Frank Sander <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:FrankSanderDo@vodafone.de"><FrankSanderDo@vodafone.de></a> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp on a pentium 4 HT board with MEGAraid controler.

In test1, I was able to make it go away by adding "acpi=off" to the command line in Grub; maybe that will work for you with your card too. MEF </pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> </body> </html>
