Tekram and SymBios models look like what I need. The hardware compatibility list agrees to those. But in LINT I don't see options for any of those controllers. I remember having tried a tekram a few months ago with a default kernel from the tekram ftp site. I managed booting, but the system crashed immediately when trying a ps or any other command. I was unable to recompile a kernel with the kernel patches they supplied. So, my questions are: If things are on the hardware compatibility list and not in LINT, what does this mean? Can anyone recommend a cheap UW scsi controller for STABLE? thx, Tobe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
