We have been running DPT with FreeBSD 2.2 since the drivers have been released (as well as Linux and ::ducking:: NT), and they have been rock solid. Out our curiosity, What models of the controllers are you using? Are you usin g DPT ECC or standard parity RAM? What version of FreeBSD? as far as i remember standard parity RAM. model number, i forget it was just as I was coming aboard with the company and the previous admin had tried contact with Simon but I don't think he got any responce. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
