I have a problem with a new Seagate hard disk. The problem occurs when i go to install CentOS, i insert the cd and start the boot up process, when it gets to the section where it detects the hard disks, the driver is seems crashes, the message it produces complains about no one caring about a interrupt on IRQ11. The hard disk is a Seagate 200GB 8MB SATA150 NCQ drive, on a SilliconImage 3112 PCI adapter card. Does anyone have any ideas?
I have seen the exact same error (on IRQ 10) with a Maxtor SATA drive on a Silicon Image controller. Let's see: 00:0b.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc.

Motherboard is a VIA KT400, Soyo DRAGON Platinum IIRC.
Tsk, tsk. Same old VIA. I have the exact same motherboard and I cannot use my DC10 capture card due to VIA's horrible latency problems.
Everything is OK until I put a SATA drive on the controller, and then it won't boot. Machine is running right now just fine, using PATA drives.
Running fine until you try something that requires low latency.
So do we now add if motherboard = VIA, keep Silicon Image card and Seagate driver, change motherboard? Sigh.
