Indeed, with an SS51-XPC no less. If you disable ultra-ATA under "Integrated Peripherals" in the BIOS it should boot. To get ATA-100 you can use the patch from PR-43345: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=43345 After that you will not be able to boot with ultra-ATA disabled. Better ATA support is on the way, according to a reply in the PR. You may have to use generic VGA for XFree86 if you are using the built-in video. When you get it going, please tell me how well your sound works for both listening and recording.

Thanks a lot. Well so far I have just patched and re-compiled the GENERIC kernel but soon (tonight for example) I will install the whole stuff. I have an additional sound card (Game Surrond Fortissimo II) installed so I don't use the built-in sound card. Anyway, I will enable it in the bios and try and use it under FreeBSD to let you know how it works. BTW, I could definitively change for the built-in sound card as I have some problem with the mixer from the fortissimo (CS2664 if I remember). Indeed the sound card has a lot of outputs, and there are some that I can play any sound through (including the headphones which is quite annoying). But maybe it is just some mistake of mine as I am not very proficient with sound tuning under BSD. I feel so happy I won't have to install any RedHat stuff (as Linux was the only OS except Windows that booted on my new box). Thanks again.

We plan to expand our storage and due to the high demand on storage we would like to install a SAN solution based on Mylex products. We wish to utilize a 2Gb HBA for PCI-X bus, like LSI/Logic LSI7202XP-LC (two channel solution) or LSI7402XP-LC (quad channel solution) or those from QLogic, e.g. SANBlade 2300 series PCI-X HBA. Does either FreeBSD 4.6.2-pl2 or FreeBSD 4.7 support Fibre Channel controllers of that brands? Thanks in advance for your answer, Oliver -- MfG O.

Each has 2 Netgear GA620 (ti driver) fibre cards with about 7 vlans spread across them. Both these machines run at *very* high interrupt loads (95 - 100% during business hours (mostly 100%), 80 - 90 % during off hours). They are 1GHz P3 machines (Dell 1550s) with 256MB of RAM. They're actually dual machines, but enabling the second CPU doesn't help in terms of load, it just halves the numbers top reports. Obviously, these machines process a lot of traffic. However, the interrupt load seems to me to be very, very high and the main reason we are seeing such high rates of packet loss (up to 10%, constantly) through these machines - is there any way it can be lessened, either with a better driver, different network cards, or some other way ? We are currently testing with a dual 2.4GHz P4 (Dell 2650) using the same network cards, and are peaking at around 40% (really 80%). However, that doesn't seem to leave much room to grow, and it's a very expensive way to ease the load. Will FreeBSD 5.0 be able to spread the interrupts across both CPUs ? Is this high interrupt load a problem with the driver, the hardware, FreeBSD itself, or is it something that is normal ?
