I had the same problem with the Adaptec 2940 UW Controller. Jordan and others suggested upgrading to 2.2-REL-ENGINEERING (however that's actually spelled ;). It does seem to have helped SIGNIFICANTLY! I ended up booting from a 2.2-RELEASE-ENG floppy and starting all over, but it was worth it to get rid of the random reboots. -- On Wed, 23 Apr 1997, Jamie Rishaw wrote: > Hi, > > I've been having a problem with one of the FreeBSD machines on our > network.
