If only I'd read the >archives *before* spending $5000 on a server :( You should try installing from releng22.FreeBSD.org as that has the latest version of the aic7xxx driver which should fix most of your problems. This latest snap is very similar to what is running on wcarchive and should be fairly stable for you needs. If you really want to run a 2.1+ system, you can always CVSup the src tree once you have something where you can perform the build as these changes were committed to the 2.1.0 branch as well. >John-David Childs (JC612) http://www.denver.net Looks like you are in my back yard. >System Administrator jdc@denver.net > & Network Engineer Think, Listen, Look, then ACT! >"A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on" - Louis B Mayer -- Justin T.
