DAC960P ? I`ve got a box running 2.4.18 with a Mylex DAC960PTL1 card. The
box is rock solid. If my memory isn`t hosed, the correct name
of the card is 'Mylex AccelRaid 250'.

The DAC960 driver is quite verbose - this is what I`ve got :

Never had problems with the DAC960 driver in 2.4 (or 2.2 for that matter) ...
Could you provide the message printed by your kernel ? We can continue from
there ... maybe Leonard has an idea of what`s going on ... Leonard ?
