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 doesnot use a raid-setup (why use an 8506-8(!) and not do raid?), maybe thatis important.
I decided on the 3ware controller because it was a highly recommended SATA controller. Just checked my machine again. Sorry, in the debian box, its only a 8506-4. and am running 2.4.22.
Strange, normally I would have just used bf24... I think I must have had a problem with 2.4.18 and thats why the upgrade. (The 3ware controller is the only non standard hardware in this box).
My other box (8506-8) had Suse installed on it by my supplier for testing purposes. I have since upgraded to debian and have 2.4.23 (I net Install my machines), and it also works here.
So in other words, you are probably correct thinking its a driver issue. Sorry bout the confusion, Andrew
