Hi!
so i think my quantum fireball must be on the side
of those "offenders".. :(
after seeing the hpt controller known and compiled
into kernel i tried to plug in the udma66 cable
after installation - it hangs when hpt controller
plugs into kernel..
well, have to wait till this is stable or buy a
new hd.. think i will wait.. ;)
thanks for your suggestions..
bye, Torben
