Hello,

I have a problem with an Adaptec 2400A on gentoo linux with a
gs-sources 2.4.25_pre6
I have compiled into the kernel the Adaptec I2O raid low level driver
I have 4 disks working in Raid 5, i have the latest bios update, and
it still doesn't work:

Here is my problem, it works fine for 1 hour to 16 hours max for the
moment and i can't access anymore
my disks...

Here is what it shows when it works:
------------------------------------

#cat /proc/scsi/dpt_i2o/0

Adaptec I2O RAID Driver Version: 2.4 Build 5

Vendor: Adaptec Model: 2400A FW:3A0L
SCSI Host=scsi0 Control Node=/dev/dpti0 irq=17
        post fifo size = 255
        reply fifo size = 255
        sg table size = 56

Devices:
        ADAPTEC RAID-5 Rev: 3A0L
        TID=523, (Channel=0, Target=0, Lun=0) (online)

Here is what it shows when it doesn't work:

I have no idea why it does that, I have a gigabyte 7N400-L and there
is no way to disable APM or ACPI... :(

Thanks for all the help!
