Hi all,
I just got a new Dell[0] workstation yesterday and have Debian Testing
running on it. What I intend using this machine for is a file server
(an iTunes share using a DAAPd, store time-shifted TV etc.), to
replace an ancient PC running OpenBSD 3.5. I'm moving the large discs
from this machine to the new machine. The discs are both Western
Digital, 250GB w/1MB cache and 200GB with 8MB respectively. They
perform well in the machine being replaced.
I've hit a snag. When I mount a share from the Debian box on my
PowerBook and play back some media, an avi for example, I get audio
drop outs.
I had a similar problem recently, related to a motherboard BIOS setting.
If your NIC IRQ is set to edge-triggered, try changing it to
level-triggered.
I've seen other evidence that some Linux drivers may have a problem with
edge-triggered IRQs. If you find that this is your problem, please report
it here and I may research it further and consider filing a bug report.
