I'm stuck with using Outlook Express for the moment. That said... I just installed a 3ware Escalade 7506-4LP with a pair of Western Digital 120GB as a RAID 1. I booted from a 5.2-R CD, the controller was found, but seems to have a problem: twe0: <3ware 7000 series Storage Controller. Driver version 1.50.00.000> port 0xb800-0xb80f mem 0xe0000000-0xe07fffff,0xe0800000-0xe080000f irq 5 at device 9.0 on pci0 twe0: PCI parity error: Reseat card, move card or buggy device present.twe0: 4 ports, Firmware FE7X 1.05.00.065, BIOS BE7X 1.08.00.048 The probe continues, down to where the disks are found and created: twed0: on twe0 twed0: 114472MB (234439600 sectors) GEOM: create disk twed0 dp=0xc459b40c twe0: unexpected status bit(s) 800000 twe0: PCI parity error: Reseat card, move card or buggy device present. The second message repeats 20 or so times, then I get the first again, then another two dozen or so of the second, etc., at a rate of several per second. Taking a hint from the error message, I safely powered down the system, pulled the card, checked for rogue dust-bunnies, put it back in the same slot and rebooted. No more error messages. Not trusting this entirely, I reboot, got the messages again. I powered down, pulled the card, put it back in the same slot, reboot, no change. Powered down again, moved the card to a different slot, no messages. Powered down again, rebooted, got the messages again. Figuring I couldn't possibly be the first person to run into this problem, I searched the mailing lists and googled for answers. No luck. There wasn't anything mentioned in the Errata that came with the controller, either. Is this a known issue? What is going on here? Can this be fixed? Is the card/drive (or card/drive combination) hosed? Is this related to the incompatibility between Western Digital "JB series" drives and 3ware controllers I see alluded to in various places? Some further details about the system: The card is 32-bit, 33Mhz slot. I don't have any 64-bit slots. I already checked the clearance and the 64-bit tab isn't touching anything. Card's version numbers from hitting Shift-F5 in the: BIOS: BE7X 1.08.00.048 Firmware: FE7X 1.05.00.065 Monitor: ME7X 1.01.00.038 The two drives in the RAID 1 are both Western Digital WD1200JB-00EVA00. The system I'm building this on is a Pentium 3 with a 440BX chipset.
