    hm, yes, i could disable the ServeRaid module. gotta find out how to
    disable the builtin IDE / Symbios other than recompile the kernel...

    can i do this by giving "ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe ..." on the
    boot-prompt? my rootdisk used to be on hda, will see if i can do something.

    Oh, no, I did not. sorry. i'll try it.

    hm, will try this too.

    the worst thing on this machine is the pre-booting process, where all
    the controllers are "Initializing..." and "Checking...", and even the
    ServRaid controller wants to have 3 minutes sometimes to settle :-)

    even it is "ECC" RAM, i'll give it a try.

    Thank your for the quick reply, i'll try these things out, will take
    some time, so maybe i'm back in the evening.
