no, I don't think I can. the post from Andrew Miehs would suggest I have a hardware problem, maybe the card itself or ram or the mainboard. right now I'm formatting a 470G NTFS partition to install win2k (still downloading redhat-8) on and the format is at 34% (woody would stop after maybe 30 seconds). so I'm still hoping it's a driver-version issue, but that would be strange considering Andrew Miehs's post, although he mentions he does not use a raid-setup (why use an 8506-8(!) and not do raid?), maybe that is important. tinus
