Probably the problem is our kernel - it is 2.4 .
Unfortunately we can not upgrade.
But it is nice to know that in 2.6 the problem does not exist.

Yes.. in 2.6, libata is king... not so in 2.4. A lot
of things change in 2.6. Are you running the latest 2.4?
Just curious if that would handle things albeit the old way.

Regardless... the lack of device recognition if the foremost
issue. Try the latest 2.4 and see if that helps.

I think it is same as your's.
What kernel you use? How much RAM?

I'm running openSUSE 10.3 and I have 4G.

My motherboard is closest to being a Iwill DK8ES, it's actually a
fairly rare variant in a SFF design known as the ZmaxD2. About
the only thing strangely different is only one process accesses
memory, but they added an extra hypertransport to increase
the throughput.

Not why your nVidia devices are showing up as Unknown device. Mine
are known.... and just reading the specs on the Tyan K8SE, it
seems to have the CK804 controller like mine...

Dear all,

we have a a computer Tyan K8SE .
with 4 cpus and 4G RAM, and SATA disk.
The kernel is 2.4.32 .
sometimes (about once a month) the computer stops responding with
following message:

I have a similar config... different mb... but also using
the Nvidia Pro 2200 chipset... can you do an lspci and see if
your SATA info matches mine?

00:06.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 IDE (rev a2)
00:07.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller
(rev a3)
00:08.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller
(rev a3)

My machine is dual 275's with 4G.... very similar to your config.

But I have never seen that message (but willing to say my machine
isn't on 24x7).
