Just curious....maybe I am crazy but to get ARC running on a DS20 you have to do a very complicated set of manovers like this: "arc" Am i wrong? I guess I am confused as to why anyone has a hard time getting arc to run.. ----Mike -----Original Message----- From: Mike Smith [mailto:msmith@freebsd.org] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2000 8:19 PM To: Peter Jeremy Cc: alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Digital KZPCA setup, help required > On 2000-Mar-10 11:40:07 +1100, Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.ORG> wrote: > >I'm trying to set up a Digital KZPCA (single channel RAID controller) > > My commiserations.

Ok. I gave up on getting ARC going on the PC164 and went back to the DS20, and this time I appear to have gotten it right. Apart from the *(^%&^% power routing inside the chassis, which makes it impossible to use the lower six or so PCI slots for long cards. 8( I should be more or less in business now, anyway. Sorry for the runaround, chaps. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
