[IPCop-devel] Floppy drive backup - *BIG* problem

[Supporting R. O. <of...@su...>]

Hi,

We are running IPCop 1.4.6 and it's working just great but recently we
tried to make a floppy backup (for the first time) and computer just 
locked up, there was no
response at all. No ping, no keyboard - nothing. We just could RESET it -
that was only way to start it again.

Without backup on floppy it's working OK - no problems.

So we tried with 1.4.5, 1.4.4, 1.4.2 - the same thing

But with 1.3.0 everything is OK

We checked everything with Knoppix. Floppy disk is working fine and also 
there are no problems with mainboard under any other OS (distribution)


Now we believe that the problem is with SiS 661FX/963 chipset because on 
mainboard with Intel chipset everything is working fine.



Do you know anything about SiS issue ?

ShuttleX with FS56 mainboard (http://www.shuttlecomputer.de/eu/fs56.htm)
256DDR RAM
PIV 2,6GHz


Any ideas ?

We are writing here because on IPCOP User list we've got no response, so 
maybe this is the first email about this kind of problem.



Greetings
Bart
