Re: lacie BIGGEST FW800

[Hugh D. <hu...@zo...>]

hmm.
I've now tested the card and the disk separately & together under other 
OS's (not in the same mobo, mind).
Disks correctly recognised (but the partitions not actually accessible 
as they're resiserfs) by OSX via FW800 (on newish G5).
Disks correctly recognised and readable using rfstool connected via 
USB2.0 on WinXP (which was quite cool!)
Card recognised, and diskset accessible in disk management under win2K 
(32 bit slot) via FW800.  (took a bit of setting up but it was a fresh 
ghost image of win2k so the drivers took a bit of settling (and I 
couldn't get USB to work properly at all)).

Noteably, I *did* have it working on this mobo under (I'm nearly sure..) 
2.6.10 when warm booted - it was a cold boot to put more RAM in that 
made it go away..

Reckon I should try a 2.6.13-rc, or a patched 2.4?
