Hi all, |

I just recently took the plunge and bought 4 250 GB Seagate drives |
| 4 |
and a 2 port Silicon Image 3112A controller card for the 2 drives my |
| 5 |
motherboard doesn't handle. No matter how hard I try, I can't get the |
| 6 |
hard drives to work: they are detected correctly and work reasonably |
| 7 |
well under _very_ light load, but anything like building a RAID array |
| 8 |
is a bit much and the whole controller seems to lock up. |

I can't remember the exact kernel messages, and I've unplugged the |
| 11 |
drives for now, but they were exactly like those in the following posts: |

All of these people seemed to be having trouble a good while ago, and |
| 16 |
other than the blacklist fix (which I have tried...) there seem to be |
| 17 |
no solutions to the problem at all. I can't seem to find any PCI |
| 18 |
controller cards not based on the SiI chipset (even the expensive |
| 19 |
ones) to replace my current card, either. |

|
| 21 |
Needless to say the drives on my internal VIA controller work like a |
| 22 |
charm. |

Has anyone run unto this problem? Any fixes? |

Many thanks, |
