Sorry to say this in a FreeBSD List, but for Alpha Platforms, take Tru64. That's a really cool and more stable OS. -- Best regards, Freddy Homepage: fmeerwaldt.homepage.com Last update: 11.03.2000 Very good OpenVMS HowTo's, DHCPD Howto, VXT2k NetBooting HowTo, and a little bit about me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NetBSD Vax, Alpha, i386.

So we have chose Free BSD 4.0 as our OS for it is configurable, high compatibility and yet high performance. Also our existing hardware (see below) is on your compatibility list too. > > > > Machine: Microway UP2000 (Class TSUNAMI) > > CPU: Alpha 21264CPU > > RAID card: AMI Mega RAID Enterprise 1500 RAID card and Elite 1500 > > > > However, when we have installed the RAID card on the machine and then boot it, it shows the following error message: > > > > amr0: <AMI Mega RAID> mem 0x40000000-0x4000ffff irq 27 at device 8.1 on pci0 > > amr0: interrupting at TSUNAMI irq 27 > > amr0: I/O error 0xffff > > amr0: controller wedged (not taking command) > > amr0: could not obtain configuration data from controller > > > > We waved our hands to Microway and Alpha Processor Institute (who is the developer of the mainboard), but we got only NEGATIVE feedback, said they don’t have such case. Despite of our disappointment and anger, we have tried to fix it by ourselves too, but it gets only similar error message. So we write to you expertise, hoping you can help us. We are urgent to get through this bottleneck, in which it totally stuck-up everything for an unreasonable long time!
