Yep, let's do it. Does the board have a socketed BIOS so you can hot-swap it to have a backup chip stored away safely?
The BIOS is a socketed chip yes (a PLCC, don't know what type). I need a replacement chip first so I can back-up the original.
Please send the output of 'lspci -tvnn' and 'superiotool -dV' from your board (run it as root). Also, please run the 'getpir' tool and send us the irq_tables.c file which is generated by the tool. We can make a patch with that information then, if you're willing to test it on your hardware.
Ok, I will do that. Please give me some time to install Linux on the system (running FreeNAS = FreeBSD 6.2 at the moment). Would it be possible to use a LiveCD as well, or should I just install a full distro?
Do you absolutely need the SCSI? See also Peter's post, I'm not sure if/how it may work, but you should be able to boot off of IDE just fine with LinuxBIOS if that helps.
I would prefer IDE, but since the manual of the server says IDE harddisks are not supported... I don't know if that's a BIOS problem or a hardware problem.
Uwe.
