Ooops, I forgot to disable the loading of the original qlogic driver. After
that, I could use the Feral ISP driver.
But again I ran into a problem: Once a day I would get the following error
kernel message (20 to 30 of them).
kernel: pci_map_sg failed: could not allocate dma page tables
kernel: isp0: unable to dma map request
Afterwards the machine would work without any more of these messages. But
tonight the machine would hang after the dma problem and had to be rebooted
Does anyone have an idea what the cause of the dma allocation problem could be
? Faulty harddrives, faulty controller ??
Thank you for your help
Ulrich
