Ohh, you mean the hole controller? Not the hpt366.o driver?
I've had it running on the same disk for 3 years, with various os'es and it hasn't killed it yet...
It does make some seriously bad sounds when I shutdown W2K, but it's long since the last time I did that.. ever.

Okay.. Will it destroy my data? Have you any knowledge about the bad_ata66 and bad_ata100 arrays in this driver? Also, the driver I want to try isn't High Points own driver (it's one supplied with linux). Would these problems arise in ataraid also? There is no bad_anything arrays in ataraid, but the...

Acutally I find these arrys in the file /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-192/drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.h And my disk happens to be listed here (IC35L040AVER07-0).. I have a Western Digital disk. I'll compile this driver (and use it instead of ataraid), and if that dosn't do it, I'll try with the WD disk and see i...

The driver is the standard ataraid for the Linux kernel. This is mainly the thing I want to find out: Is this a problem related to the Linux driver vs. HPT firmware? And if so can we fix it? I am using my Primary IDE now, and I really don't notice the performance drop(other bottlenecks I assume). BT...

New BIOS?
Are you dead certain that a new bios will do the trick?
The BP6 has been stable with NJ for a year before I started using
Fedora (and now SuSE). I'd rather not update unless it's
certain this will fix the problems.

New Linux-2.4 kernels and the HPT366
I have lately had regular crashes on my BP6 computer. Currently I have a RH7.3 (2.4.18-3smp) and SuSE-9.0(2.4.21-192-smp4G). The old redhat seems fine. But SuSE (and Fedora Core 1) will invariably freeze the computer while doing heavy disk I/O (either over net or to other local disk). The problem go...

The GFX Cards
I have been using a G200 and two Voodoo2 in SLI mode for ages. Recently I swapped them for a PoV Geforce ti4200xp 128 MB and started expiriencing problems. First of all my HPT bios wouldn't load. I fixed it by changing some bios settings. Then the computer hanged when starting KDE (at init video dev...

bad HPT?
Thanks for the warning. I don't know if there's been any resarch into the HPT366 controller but my harddisk/HPT controller performs very diffrently in windows and in linux. I run W2K without ACPI, and every time I reboot the system from W2K it shuts down(spin down) the disk in a manner that dosn't s...

I finally found it.
I installed W2K and SP1 using the HPT366 driver diskette during setup of W2K. After upgrading to SP3 the "hpt366.sys" file in "c:\winnt\system32\drivers", was changed from the version included with the hpt-driver: 5.0.2195.1 to some weird version probably included with sp3 with version number: 4.0.1...

:oops: I'm not so sure it's the SP3 anymore..
After removing one of the disks (it started to go "Ziong-dunk-dunk..")
the problem became much less frequent. It still happens but know it's only
once in a while. Anyway it runs satisfactory, since my main OS is Linux,
and I don't care to reboot very often..

Service Pack 3 corrupts HPT366 drivers?
I recently installed Win2K, and upgraded it to SP2. This seemed to work fine. No probs at all. Now, after I installed SP3 everything seems okay, but as soon as I strain the disks on the HPT-controller, Windows goes BSOD with the message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. My driver version is 1.25.0.10 Unfourtu...
