Subject: ich8 add-on info


2-3 weeks ago we installed a linux server, it was an
Intel  DQ963FX motherboard based machine. Full spec here:
http://support.intel.com/products/motherboard/dq963fx/index.htm
It has a Intel Q963 chipset,
http://support.intel.com/products/chipsets/Q965_Q963/index.htm
with ICH8R [IntelR MST (ICH8R only) 6 SATA, 3 Gbps eSATA]

I took my 5 minutes and started an NW411 server (with a sata drv),
just to see what happens.
Basically it seemed to be started ok, and didn't freeze after loading idehd.
But, it displayed a warning message, if I remember correctly, it was the:
  "NBI-2.35-11: Warning: The version of netware does not support
   protected mode bios accesses. Without a loader patch some PCI
   drivers may fail."

I know what this is suppose to mean, but it is strange, in a way
that I used the very same server.exe which I use to test other
hardware too - like the GA - and on that (or on other) machines
I haven't seen this "happening". (Then I doublechecked, I do
use the "latest" loader.exe. I also did a backrev, and a test
with the SP0 server.exe - same results).

Since it seemed to work and I didn't have much time, I didn't
do more tests. But now I thought I let you know. Anything
you might see in this thing?
