by with both the RAID controller and onboard adaptec aic7896 controller.
We worked through the RAID problem by chucking out the Intel SRCU21
raid controller, replacing it with an ADAPTEC 2100S, which so far
seems
to have sorted that probelm out (the SRCU was randomly hanging,
dumping running processes into a 'D' state, forcing a powercyle to
reboot).
Problem now is with the onboard Adaptec controller, which is hooked up
to an IBM Ultrastar. Having got past all of the install problems with
RH7.3 (had to use dd and apic options to prevent the installer
hanging), I'm seeing errors in /var/log/messages relating to the
controller (its also the root drive).
For example :

identical) problems with this board, paticularly with
regard to interrupt problems and apic (a definition of what apic does
would be nice!). Predictably, Intel didn't even
want to know (although they charged my $25 for the privilege of
telling me so). Red Hat themselves mention as much on their forum,
talking specifically about the apic problems on boot. I'll never buy
another Intel board, that's for sure.
inclination is to junk the whole thing and buy another board from
somebody else
(suggestions welcome!), although I would really appreciate an expert
opinion from somebody who knows more than me. I'm even now wondering
whether
the original RAID problems that we were having were related.
any other information that would help.
