    Hello

    I try to make Adaptec SATA RAID AAR-1210SA (in fact, SiI 3112 ACT 144 chip)
    work under 2.6.0

    When booting, get "hde: lost interrupt" and DMA errors. Tried to switch
    on/off local and I/O APIC (singleproc board) and the errors stay the same.

    Are these errors experienced on all SiI3112 boards? Are they experienced
    also in 2.4 kernel? Shall I try some "newer" kernel than 2.6.0?

    What's the difference between SiI3112 and SiI 3114? I found a note about
    adding some SiI 3114 patch in the 2.6 -mm kernel but don't know if it's
    relevant for me.

    Have downloaded the SiI 3112 data*** but they don't say much about how the
    registers are configured etc. - just how serial EEPROM is connected
    (yes, there's an AM29LV0108-903C by AMD on the board) and what SATA commands
    are supported.

    Is the programming interface of the chip proprietary or is it covered in
    SATA, ATA or even PCI spec.?
