This system is a MDD, dual G4@1.2 ghz, with 1280M of RAM, and 4 ultra160 drives attached to the 39160. I've posted before about this issue, and I apologize for that, I also apologize for posting to the dev list, but it seems as if this is an oddball configuration that nobody seems to use.. everone's using IDE. Perhaps this driver is just not updated for the ppc arch, or has endian issues? Maybe the entire scsi layer for ppc has problems? I can't say. Regardless.. I'd like to see this fixed, this is a long-standing issue. I'd even be willing to lend or donate a powerdomain card to someone who'd be able to fix the driver for linux-ppc... I use the same card on several x86's with no such problems. thanks. Ethan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
