Intel 6300ESB SATA and TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA

[Alain Hebert]

    Hi,

    I'm about to invest in some Tyan Transport GT20 B5350G20S2H-LC.

    But since my epic battle trying to make the Promise Fasttrak 2300TX 
(PDC20580?) works right in Raid1, 2 weeks ago I'm a bit concern about 
those new SATA controllers.

    Myself I have  a PDC20378 in (heavy) production with 5.4-CURRENT and 
its flawless, I also have a 3ware also in heavy production (way cool but 
pricy).

    But I'm wondering if the 6300ESB controller was still stable in 
6-CURRENT?

    And for Roger,

 > Oh well, replacing the SATA cable fixed it, I'm terribly sorry about 
that :(

    Meaning?  I know of only 1 cable format.  Thanks.

    Anybody need a Promise Fasttrak 2300TX to develop/test/fix?

    I know that the 6-CURRENT driver wasn't recognizing the Raid config 
with the 2.5.x firmware, but was ok with the original firmware (2.0.x)

    Let me know.
