Hello,
So I tried your suggestions. Unmasking the hd IRQs sure helps prevent a
lot of buffer overruns. There still are some, but they're down by a
factor of 100 or more... Any suggestions to reduce those even further
more than welcome, as I suppose this might cause some Multicast UDP
packets to get dropped. :-/ Would using SCSI instead of IDE help, do you
think ?
The 2.2.17 driver still seems to have a few bugs though: we get messages
like: "Too much work in interrupt, status e401". This seems to happen
more on machines with RX buffer overruns.

Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. -- Dwight D.
