Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A Port Timeout
LockedRunning Windows Server 2003. Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A. 2 Mirrored 120 GB drives. One partition (C:). RAID controler BIOS is latest.
At seemingly random intervals, I recieve the following error in the system event log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: hpt3xx
Event Category: None
Event ID: 117
Date: 3/8/2005
Time: 15:56:38
User: N/A
Computer: ESAU
Description:
The driver for device \Device\Scsi\hpt3xx1 detected a port timeout due to prolonged inactivity. All associated busses were reset in an effort to clear the condition.For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ……..This occurs 18 times, with 14 seconds between each occurence. While it is happening, the server becomes completely unresponsive and all network connections are lost.
I know that the 1200A is not certified for Windows 2003, but it does work on other systems (I and others have seen it). I am using the HighPoint RocketRAID 100 driver. (They have the same chipset.)
