Hi,

I run a -current box with SMP, and it has three 7880's in it... I also have
what could probably be called a 'vast array of inexpensive and dodgy' drives
in it (14 odd in total)...

I have seen few problems with CAM or the SCSI side of things - your symptoms
sound extreemly hardware related... I had problems in the past with my old
setup, all of which was caused by termination problems (and boy did it cause
weird symptoms)...

If no one else can suggest anything, or your stuck let me know... But I have a
feeling it's going to turn into one of those "What's terminated and what isn't
terminated, and what type of cable is it" type sessions ;-)

Regards,

Karl
