Hi Pete and All,

Ok. My server has 2 processors. I supose that you have some servers with 2
processors.

What is the adaptec transfer rate? I have tested with a adaptec 80Mb, and
it didn't work too. The chipset is the same the AIC 7896.

I have downloaded (with CVSup) to stable version, but I have the same
problem. I have about 10.000 users in my master.passwd. When I runnig the
vipw, my machine stay down (I can't send any e-mail, when I have the
problem).

Another test that I have done with my kernel was to put the flags below:

controller      wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14
disk            wd0     at wdc0 drive 0 flags 0xb0ff 
disk            wd1     at wdc0 drive 1 flags 0xb0ff
controller      wdc1    at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15
disk            wd2     at wdc1 drive 0 flags 0xb0ff
disk            wd3     at wdc1 drive 1 flags 0xb0ff

It didn't work too.

I think that I don't have problem with my NIC (Intel 10/100).

I can't figured out what you want to say about BIOS :/

Thanks in advance.
