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.
