Hi -

I added an Adaptec AAR-1210 RAID controller into my computer and compiled a
kernel because I couldn't get SuSE to work with the Adaptec driver. Now it
boots to the kernel and recognizes the controller, but I get a kernel error:

Max request size 64 KB

hda: lost interrupt

The kernel sees the two drives as hda and hdc, but I have other IDE devices

Thanks

Er, you should know that that's only barely a RAID controller -- and
definitely not hardware RAID -- for starters. It uses a slightly
modified Silicon Image 3112 SATA chip, which can do an odd variant of
software RAID called "Medley". You therefore might be able to use the
2.4.x-only mid-level "ataraid" driver with the matching lower-level
"medley" driver in a _really_ recent 2.4.x kernel.

Or better, ignore the weird manufacturer-specific software RAID, and use
Linux's own built-in "md" driver for software RAID. If using 2.6.x (or
the just-released 2.4.27), you can try sata_sil, instead.
