Sharing Interrupt+HPT366 Problem on BP6

There some problems with HPT366 maybe

I used 3 disks for raid level 5
2 on the one of the channels
1 on the other channel

Few second after starting raid (it start background recovery) the system locks totaly
not even the Magic SysRq key works, only reset

The HPT366 uses IRQ sharing (same IRQ on both chnnes)

When i use only one channel, everiting is OK:
2 on the one of the channels
1 on the ordinary PIIX ide controler

The configuration is:
Abit BP6 MB
Single Celeron 366 processor
1X10G hdd
3X60G hdd
256MB ram
Davicom 100MB/s NIC
S3 Trio3D AGP VGA
Attached both dmesg:

Subject: Sharing Interrupt+HPT366 Problem on BP6

<snip>

Have you tried the ATA patches from Andre Hedrick?

http://www.linuxdiskcert.org

Those cured all my HPT366 problems.

On Sat, Jan 19, 2002 at 09:11:09AM -0800, you [Anton Tinchev] claimed:

Which slot did you put your nic (and other pci cards)? Don't put them in slot #3 (it shares the IRQ with HPT366). And even if slot 3 is empty, try switching the slow and see if it makes difference.

Also, make sure you have the newest bios.

I have BP6 here, three drives HPT366:

hda: IBM-DCAA-34330, ATA DISK drive
hdb: CD-532E-A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: CR-4804TE, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hde: IBM-DJNA-352030, ATA DISK drive
hdf: IBM-DTTA-351680, ATA DISK drive
hdg: SAMSUNG SV6004H, ATA DISK drive
hdh: SAMSUNG SV6004H, ATA DISK drive

No problems.

Without NIC hangs too...
I tried every combination that i can imagine and the result is:
Drives on only one channel - system works
Drives on both channels - system hangs
