I might be overlooking something there, but in the syslog, I see this: Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn kernel: <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter> Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn kernel: aic7880: Ultra Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn kernel: Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn kernel: 8regs : 2902.800 MB/sec Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn kernel: 32regs : 1914.800 MB/sec Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn kernel: pIII_sse : 3320.000 MB/sec Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn kernel: pII_mmx : 2952.800 MB/sec Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn kernel: p5_mmx : 2843.600 MB/sec Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn kernel: raid5: using function: pIII_sse (3320.000 MB/sec) Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn kernel: FAT: bogus logical sector size 0 Apr 5 05:19:04 fjorn last message repeated 2 times Unfortunately, due to the pinning difference, I need to disconnect my SCSI tape device.
