X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 10:22:55 -0000 Hi there, just wondering if anyone has a SUN V40z with 4 CPUs successfully running with FreeBSD 5.3- Have had the opportunity to get hold of one machine for a few hours before "official tests" began, and there were reproducable errors regarding the SCSI subsystem. During the installation, sysinstall came up, disks (RAID 1) were seen, partitioning/newfs went ahead, after copying the first distribution sets, the controller went hickup, and gave some timeouts/buffer related issues. (Sorry I didn't wrote them down, as I got only limited time with that box) The box is currently deployed with RedHat, and after some minutes compiling, it also crashes sometimes- Do we only have bad luck with flaky hardware, that is being transported too often and being badly shaken, oder are there some issues with perhaps firmware revisions etc?
