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? TIA Olaf -- Olaf Hoyer ohoyer@ohoyer.de Fuerchterliche Erlebniss geben zu raten, ob der, welcher sie erlebt, nicht etwas Fuerchterliches ist. (Nietzsche, Jenseits von Gut und Boese)
