I think I've located the problem. I upgraded firmware on the AMI controller to the latest version. No change. I then tried to update the firmware on the motherboard. I managed to kill the board at this point. My supplier (Digital Networks UK whom I highly recommend) re-sent me a new motherboard. Same BIOS version as the old one before the upgrade. I decided not to flash the firmware this time. Instead I had a look around the BIOS settings and set the 1st Boot device to "PCI Raid Controller" and ever since I'm able to reboot the server without fail. I even tried a different RAID controller of the same make and model, and still no problems. The motherboard is a Gigabyte 6VTXDR. -byron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
